    Default Right Indicator Spasm

    Hey guys, I did a quick search through the threads, couldnt see anything on it so here it goes.

    Just recently my VQ stato's right indicator started to go twice as fast. My left one is still at normal speed, which i find really strange. You would think its everything or nothing.

    Any ideas as to how i might fix the problem?

    no bulbs are blown, both the side indicator light and the front one next to the head light work fine, they just work twice as fast as they should.

    you dont want turbo indicators, by law, they must flash a certain amount per second, and the fast flashing exceeds this. but if you must, go buy some led globes for the front, that will make it flash fast

    Yeah all the indicators on the right side of the car go twice as fast as they should, and all the indicator lights on the left side of the car go normal speed.

    I didn't do anything to provoke it, it just started doing it all of a sudden...

    well, its gotta be a bulb problem, as if it was the flasher can, it would happen on both sides.

    again, does the rear bulb work?

    id suggest just checking the terminals on all the right hand side globes, make sure none are corroded, etc. also, does the green arrow on the instrument cluster work?

    yes the rear bulb works, and the right arrow on my dash also flashes twice the speed it should, and makes the clicking noise twice as fast as it should. It as happened once before, about a month or 2 ago for a short period of time, but then magically fixed itself. It started doing it again last night, and hasn't fixed itself since...
