Check all your indicator bulbs, fast blinking indicators usually indicate a bulb is out.

Bulb is out or you are using LED inidicator.

My daughter recently had this problem, hazards working ok means it is not the bulb. She had to have a new control box of some sort. It cost her £400.

hi guys


ALL THE BULBS ARE WORKING FINE, THE LIGHTS ARE NOT LED'S

IT SEEMS TO LOOK LIKE A INTERNAL PROBLEM WITH THE ECU ???

Possible light module of your car.
First thing, you should update your lighting module.
If it does not work, you will require new module.

Hi you said , that I can update the light module
Would I require any special equipment etc ?
To carry this out

Few tips:
1- Take all the bulbs out and have a good look at them. Sometimes filament is dying and although it works, but it increases resistance in the circuit, therefore car behaving with fast blink.
You will require only 6 bulbs to change. Easiest and cheapest thing to rule out. It can be as simple as it is.

2- If no luck after following step 1, look at coding section for further details, as what sort of equipment and knowledge you would require to update / reset your lighting module.

3- If you are not confident coding yourself, then look for coders in your region. Easiest way is to disable bulb check, and it should restore normal function of indicators.
If it does not, then updating / resetting of light module should help you.

All the best.
