Indicator

Postby baldtyres » Wed Dec 06, 2006 11:12 am

It just started this morning......when I indicate to turn left the tic, ticking goes at twice the speed as it normally. Turning right is as normal.
Anybody have this problem before or know what is causing it?

Usually means that a bulb has blown -on the left side of the car in this case.

Spot on Mustang! Just checked the car .....front left indicator is out!
Are these bulbs a pain in the ass to buy / replace?
The headlamp bulbs are the only bulbs ever to pop in my six FTO years and the local BMW garage always had these. These were easy to replace but I had an import civic a few years back and the bulbs were a nightmare to replace......wouldn't be surprised if the FTO's had something awkward to get at.

Indicator at the front is a 382 bulb, side indicator is 5w5, any motor factor will stock them.
