I have an EG,

This tripped me out when I put on the right indicator, the right indicator on the dashboard blinks really fast (faster than usual), I was tripped out, so I had to check if the left indicator blinked as fast, it didn't.

What's wrong with it? Never happend before just only today :zip:

could be a fuse or even the fact the bulb is old and about to go (old commo trick to make this happen on purpose)

The bulb inside the dash or the bulb outside the car where the indicator? LOL

The fuse hmmm, can I replace this? Where this located? :S

sorry, in the front or rear indicators, not the dash.
I've had this problem and it was just the bulbs needing to be replaced.

check ur right indicators (light bulbs inside ur lights) If they're busted.. this happens.. check ur front blinkers, side blinker and rear tail light blinker

could be the indecator relay, the relay that makes it "blink" 90% of the time that is what it is. not sure where it is on the EG, but should be near the under hood fuse box i think.

sigh.

so much retardedness

it means that one of your indicator bulbs is blown, on the right hand side.

the reasons this happens, is because the entire indicator wiring assembly is one. the rate at which they blink depends on the total resistance of all bulbs. if one bulb is blown, the total resistance is changed, and it blinks faster.

yep basically when your blinker flashes fast indicates one of the bulbs have blown
