Indicators Flashn Fast

[BANGN]

got my car i just imported droped off yesterday and first thing i noticed is that the indicators flash quite fast, as if there is a light blown BUT all 4 indicators flash so there isnt anything blown :S they are also a normal lookn brightness

any ideas?

[NA_Goodness]

Does it do it on both sides or just 1?

And does it flash quickly if you have your hazard lights on?

[BANGN]

its same both sides front and rear

BUT i just checked the hazards and its normal flashing on hazards and fast on indicators both sides :S

[NA_Goodness]

Well that tells us something... Not sure what it is tho

Hope this info can help someone else. Good luck mate! At least you finally got it here!

guys at work beleive the globe watt-age is incorect, that it should have 21 globes and it could possibly have 18s in it

i might have to inspect what globes i have

[Jack88]

check to see if there are LED globes in there somewhere,they are known to cause the fast flashing due to there low resistance.

[turbo_brian]

a resistor well sort the issue

Flasher relays are load based(9/10 anyway), so if the globes are of a lower wattage (dimmer light, or LED based) it will flash quicker.

If a lights are running, either mess about with resistors, or spend a couple of dollars on the right wattage globes.

There are SIX indicators - 2 front, 2 rear, and 2 side (in the 32, they are in the same unit as the front indicators)

[BANGN]

the fronts have 12/5w

i dont have guard indicators?? im confused when you say I have six

[inthisglass]

some 32s have guard indicators

and 33s have 6

anyway my car does the same thing, its your globes that change the resistance

someone has replaced the globes and put smaller ones in.

well i sorted out a couple of issues.. I noticed my parklights on the front were not working... in which there were LED's in there.. put some 12/5w in and then I had an extra set of indicators working so yeh u'z were right, 2 sets in each corner lamp of indicators..

just gota fix the other side and check the speed, should be ok now there is another indicator drawing power. seemed strange the park lights stoped the indicators working
