Hi,

I am looking for a solution to my problem for a while, so decided to register here.
My right indicator started to flash faster than normal. I checked all lamps and rear one was not working, however bulb is ok. Then I checked other lights and no stop or fog light too. The only one working is rear light. I checked all fuses and bulbs and all are ok. I even checked other rear light on the cables and the same issue, so it is not lamp related problem. When using hazard lights, speed is normal, but no rear right indicator on.
Any ideas what that might be? Please help. Thanks.

Probably the board that the bulbs fasten in to, check the metal strips that the bulbs connect to for corrosion or being out of position or bent

Thanks for your reply. As mentioned, I tested with other lamp and exactly the same issue. I will test it with the third one tomorrow though.

Had this with my nearside rear cluster. Took it out, cleaned all the connections up (including the parts the lamps fit into) and Bingo,,,, works a treat now. ;);)

Resolved!

A bit bizarre thing. The issue was in the right lamp, but when I wanted to swap with the left one to check connectivity etc, I've noticed that on that the left one there is one green cable loose. Then I noticed that there should be 2 green cables together (paired in one connector), are blind (there is no connector in the socket). When attached those 2 again, everything started to work on the right lamp. Bizarre, isn't it? I guess it is the French way of doing electrics.
Thanks anyway.
