Problem with right-hand indicator.

Ok. Quite suddenly a few weeks ago, my right-hand indicator started speeding up. The left has remained unchanged this whole time. When I first start the car, the right indicator remains at a constant rate, albeit faster than the left, however the more the car warms up, the indicator starts fast and accellerates until the lights are almost on constantly. All bulbs are working and don't seem to be the problem as I have swapped them with those on the left with no change. I then went to supercheap and got a replacement flasher/canister which after trying I still had the same problem. Any ideas as to what could be the problem?
Thanks for any help.

If you have all of the correct wattage bulbs installed, and they all do indeed work, I would be looking for a bad ground point on the sockets of the bulbs that are flashing rapidly. A corroded ground will cause the bulbs to flash, or "flicker" rapidly, as there is not sufficient body ground for the bulb. Clean all of the sockets if any corrosion/rust/oxidation is present.

Odometer not working and servo steering reduced on my 2001 x type. can they be connected in some way.

Hello. Yes, your Jaguar has speed sensitive steering 'coupled' to its 'vehicle speed'. The faster your vehicle goes = less 'power steering'; the slower your vehicle travels = more 'power steering'. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

Holden barina xc left hand front and rear indicators inoperative.right indicators are fine

Hi Brian did they just suddenly stop working?
start with the basics check fuses, fuse position and description should be labeled on inner fuse box cover. Check globes are ok, Then check indicator switch ( I suspect this may be where fault is). Give switch a bit of a work out, switch it up and down several times, wiggle it around and see if it comes good possible dust on contacts. If fault is still apparent get a Dealer or auto electrician to have a look as it now becomes more involved. Test equipment will need to be used. Good luck.

My Toyota 09 Corolla petrol, was just serviced a few weeks agow, it starts ok in morning but if I have to stop and switch off engine it is hard to restart?

First, it is a diesel I am not so sure. As for a gasoline engine, there are 3 important things to look at: air, fuel, and spark. I would look at the fuel and spark, fuel filter, sparks.

What would cause a burnt plastic smell under the hood of my 2013 Chevrolette Equinox?

Hi Mike, You mentioned the turn signal switch can cause burning plastic smell from under the hood (12 years ago on a Chevy)

I drive a 2005 Acura MDX Touring 4D SUV. Two weeks ago, I noticed a light flickering behind the VTM-4 button. At a stop light, I turned on the left blinker and it wouldn't stop blinking.

An hour before, my SUV would not start. When I turned the steering wheel slightly right, the car finally started. I was performing deliveries, so I couldn't take a chance for the car not to start again. Therefore, I just kept the car running to finish my shift.

When the blinker would not shut off, I had to end my shift. Once I arrived home, I just parked the car: The left blinker continued to blink. I tried to start the car again and it just clinked along with the blinking left turn signal.

The next morning, I attempted to start the car again. After a few unsuccessful attempts, I turned the steering wheel slightly right and it started. However, the left blinker remained on.

I tried to start the car once again and only heard clicking. All of a sudden, I smelled a burning plastic smell and a small amount of smoke came from under the hood.

I was thinking about pulling the fuse to the turn signal. I've had past challenges with starting the car and the VTM-4 and engine light light on. OBD codes produced a Bay 2 Sensor 2 O2 sensor. In the past, my left fog light got knocked off and the connectors are exposed.

Would greatly appreciate your expert advice on what I can do to start this car up and to cancel out the left turn signal. Thank you for your time.

Loud grinding noise front end while driving. Hub bearing? Started a few weeks ago but not so extreme and usual only when turning. Now it is a loud metal grinding sound almost constant and seems to get...

Probably so. When making a left hand turn, if the noise gets loader, it is the right side bearing. IE... putting more wieght on that side of the car.
