Turn signals

A turn indicator is blinking. Both arrows at once means the hazard lights are on.

These lamps are not about a fault: they say a system is switched on, or remind you of something simple to do.

What to do now

  1. ⚠️ Blinking twice as fast means a bulb on that side has burnt out. It is by design: fast blinking IS the burnt-bulb signal.
  2. On LED indicators fast blinking can also come from a poor contact in the socket.
  3. If it does not blink at all but the relay clicks, check the indicator fuse.
  4. An LED bulb in place of a filament one needs a load resistor: without it the car counts the bulb as burnt out and blinks fast — that is the «fault» people see after a swap.
  5. If both sides blink at once and you did not press hazards, start with the hazard switch: its contacts stick more often than anything else in that circuit.

Codes usually behind it

The lamp only says that something is wrong. The code says what exactly — read it with an adapter and look it up here.

What to read next

A lamp is not a diagnosis. The same symbol lights up for a dozen different reasons, and only the code stored in the car tells them apart.

How the app helps

CarScan reads the codes behind the lamp through an OBD-II adapter, explains them in plain words and puts them into a report you can show to a mechanic.
