hey guys pulled apart my dash last night to try and rebolt my tacho because it started to come loose and put it all back together and now my indicator on the right is blinking fast..
- all the bulbs are still working
- checked the hasard button connections and a few other things.
can someone help me?
if all your lights work whilst indicating, then it indicates that you're losing power somewhere, and the other set of bulbs are receiving more power, hence the quicker flash.
check all ya wiring for ya indicator bulbs.
it also could mean that one or more of your bulbs are about to blow.
try searching next time int eh tech forums...this has been covered off many times :)
Sounds like you forgot to plug in something behind the cluster. Are all the cluster lights working (especially the cluster indicator lights)?
From what I have noticed, the cluster lights use the same line as the outside indicators, because when the indicators flash on, the incidator light on the cluster dims a bit.
the bulks are all brand new, just replaced them all about two weeks ago. also the indicator on the guage cluster is working fine aswell. to my understanding everything seems to be completely fine becides the fast indication.
check the wiring down the right side of the car....
are ur wires fine??
you may be losing power somewhere along the line
im going to pull it all apart again this arvo and ill see how i go from there
This happens occasionally on my mate's civic, he says it's just the "relay". He can't be bothered fixing it though apparently hehe
check ure tail lights and other bulbs...or maybe u have a blown indicator somewhere, this usually causes ure indicators to blink physcho...
nah as i said before all bulbs are fine. it has happened once before and then i just stopped blinking fast all of a sudden. but today it hasnt stopped. dunno what the deal with it is

yeh all bulbs are fine....so are all bulbs behind my dash cluster
Maybe one of the indicator bulbs are on its way out?
Old bulbs cause excess resistance and cause the indicators to flash fast.
I would swap all the right indicator bulbs with the left ones and see if the problem then happens on the left.
If so, then change the old bulb(s)
[edit] just realised u said they are only 2 weeks old, but its worth a try swapping them around anyway for diagnostic reasons.
hes covered that too la...Quote:

did you happen to replace any of the indicator bulbs with LEDs instead?
Due to the drop in resistance with LEDs I think this may cause it to flash faster?
i found that its a dodgy relay. when i went out the other night it started to work again without me doing anything
its your re-lay 100% happened to me.
outta no where it starts blinkin faster if so its realay\bulb but most time its the relay.
oops i see u worked it out alredi ^^^^:P my bad
yeh its deffinatly my relay, i just wants to go fast sometimes and slow others. but it only happens rarely. does anyone know where the relay switch is for it.
