R33 Indicators Flashing Fast But All Working

[engo]

ey all....ok tripping me out this is....... all my indicators work.... left side flashes fine and everything...right hand side flash's fast ( like one globe is out ) but they all work..... so then i thought that maybe when i had my new front bar put on the new indicator on the front was not giving enough wattage so the system thinks one is out..... ( its one o those horizontal little things ) so i then switched the left hand side ( working fine ) into the right socket and still the same problem..... but then it gets weirder.... i pull out the rear right hand indicator and replaced it with about 3 spares i had... 2 o them made no differnce.... but one of them made the blink slow up...but still goin fast..so it was like a semi pace blink... i have no idea's... was thinking either checkin my relays.... but if one of the bulbs made it slow up then it has to be something to do with wattage.... so i also swapped out my lft rear bulb and put it in the right... still no difference.... n e help would be appreciated...this is so bloody frustrating

Hi mate, not sure if this is any assistance, but I recently had the same problem with my VE Clubsport.

Went back to holden and they had to replace the rear left light module and it fixed the problem. Wish they changed the RHS at the same time, as 1 month later, it is doing the same thing.

Bloody Holden. Anyway, there possibly might be a module that you can check.

Cheers

think one of the bulbs could be wrong wattage or something like that? check adjacent bulbs are all the same ie rear left and right match etc

Had this problem with wiring not connected properly, I got rid of the wiring connector and put a new one in, and replaced the globes. Not sure what exactly it was with the wiring, but worked for me.

cheers for the reply's guys.... ahhh another thing that takes me to the rear indicator is that there was some water in it recently... yeah gotta seal it up but maybe the module got wet and is now f./#@ed ... i dunno jump out with a multimeter tomorrow and check i guess...might go and look at some new globes to knock that out aswell.... besides that... auto lecky.... grrrrrrr..........

Any other solutions to this? As I'm having the same problem at the moment

My old datsun had the same problem

The flasher unit was stuffed, if skylines have a flasher unit (small metal cylinder ) that sits under the dash then I reckon thats where the problem is

[Skyline_034]

I just kind find the dam flasher can, found the relay though

I also read could be wrong size globes or bad earth as well.

I'll have a sus again for the can today.

Indicators still flashing fast but

Low beams fixed, bulb was out.

Will keep you guys posted on the update

On r33's the flasher is under the steering wheel behind the dash. Dont have to pull any panels off to get to it. Put your indicators and feel around for the thing clicking on and off. I changed mine to a non load dependant flasher when I put LED's in all my indicators. Works like factory

What happens when you put the hazards on!.

Its either the flasher or the power consumption is too low triggering the blown light indicator. My old skyline needed a new flasher. They were getting stuck on.

iv had this problem. did my head in.

ended up being that in my custom front bar there are 2 bulbs per indicator, and one of the two was out. Still looked like the indicator was working but one of the bulbs was out causing the fast flashing. Replaced bulb. All sorted
