Hi guy's my cerbi's drivers side rear indicator refuses to flash and the flasher unit ticks at twice normal speed. Have tested bulb and it's ok, and it does flash properly when the hazard lights are turned on. Any idea's?

Ticking away at twice the speed is usually an indication that the bulb is either open circuit or its not being seen in the circuit. Time to get the meter out !

It could be possible that the bulb connector has got damp, and that corrosion on the contacts is preventing a good contact with the bulb. That or maybe the bulb isnt seated properly. Always best to start with the simple/obvious stuff first!

Thanks both, did start checking from the simple things first and low and behold found a dry joint on the rear light cluster plug. Problem fixed! I hope!
