fast flash indicator

Post by madmanreevo » 16 Oct 2009, 14:37

Hi just fitted some aftermarket indicators, when only front are connected they flash at correct speed but when rear are conected they flash fast.
I have fast flashing before if only one indicator is working on cars? umm now the bulbs in the new ones are 12/25 and the ones stated are 12/15 so im thinking perhaps they are too high a wattage?

I'm presuming they are all flashing - even if fast.
Check your grounding first.
