Hi Guys,
My right hand turn signal has started flashing quickly. To be clear it flashes quickly most of the time but occasionally will revert back to normal. But mostly it flashes quickly with small intermittent normal flashes, enough to think it might be fixed...until it starts again.
I have checked all the bulbs and they are working fine but in any case have swapped them out with the left hand bulbs to be sure one of them wasn't faulty in same way. No cigar. I also checked for loose wiring in case an earth issue was present. Have checked for thrown codes. Nothing thrown. Have checked that the bulb to housing connection is good on all right hand turn signal lights and not causing resistance. (Note I have the European lighting with amber front turn, amber rear turn, and amber fender mounted turn). I have sprayed all three bulb/housing connectors with contact cleaner. No improvement. I have checked all the fuses in the engine fuse box and the SJB. All fuses are good. Have swapped out the relay in the SJB with one from the engine fuse box. Still no cigar.
Now I understand that the SJB controls the turn signal rather than a separate flasher unit, so I'm guessing I am left with the possibility of a faulty SJB or a dodgy earth somewhere in the labyrinth of wiring. Any thoughts/suggestions?
Cheers
