On the way home from work yesterday the left directional signal started cycling double time. This usually means a bulb is out. Checked front and rear and both are lighting up but at double speed. Any thoughts? LCM? bad ground? Bulb about to blow?

Thanks in advance.

Cycling double-time means there is less resistance in the circuit. I'd replace all the bulbs on that side.

Hi Derik

There are two bulbs per side at the rear I suspect only one of them is working

He gets by with only half of his bulbs lit!

Finally got around to replacing the bulbs. Couldn't tell by looking at them which was bad but the problem is now fixed.
Thanks.

Glad you got it fixed.

Unless you use a meter to check the resistance in the bulbs you'll never know.
