Why is my indicator flashing so quick

[kelfoan]

Recently my left indicator has started to flash at about twice the speed of the right one. Any ideas why. I've got a 2005 focus

[ChuckFickens]

have you checked all the bulbs are working

[dustypuss]

probably one of the bulbs has blown

my commisuration on having a ford focus ;-)

[Unsureme]

One of your bulbs has blown.

[Teddio]

One of your three left-side bulbs has blown.

[Toureman]

Anymore variarions of the same answer?

^^^ the yoda style

So kelfoan, where do you think you should be checking first to resolve this problem :)

Just for a little explanation, if one bulb blows on an indicator circuit it decreases the load on the flasher circuit and makes them flash quicker. it's a natural side effect of how they work but also is a handy warning that a bulb has blown.

[McNoodle]

A bulb that is not one of the right side has blown.

you have a bulb s h a g g e d out!!

I reckon that one of your lamps has blown, it can't be a bulb as you plant them in the ground....

Good response Disco, bulb is a popular misnomer for a lamp!
