Car Indicator Problem

[Jahee]

Also, i don't know whether its worth noting.. My right side dipped beam bulb stopped working (the same side as the indicator problem), not sure if its blown or its a fuse or what, haven't looked that closely yet.

It could be just a coincidence but maybe related?

What is a "dipped beam"?

In most cars the flashers will flash really fast or erratically if there is a voltage change across the lighting system. Happens when people replace their blubs with LEDs.

Flasher or one of the lights are out.

or just loose in their sockets. worst case its the cam on the steering column or a connection from the fuse block. either way not a huge deal, just not fun to find

Sorry dipped beam is just normal headlights. I havent replaced any bulbs recently, having taken a closer look it seems the problem only happens when i have my hazards on, when im just indicating normally it seems fine.. strange.

Check your connections. Unseat your signal bulbs and reseat them. Also the relay.
