Indicator problem

[MrFaulty]

Hi, we have a 2012 VW polo and the dash light came on yesterday indicating there is a problem with the lights. I checked all the lights and everything appears to be working fine except when indicating left, the indicator light on the dash is flashing fast - this would indicate that one of the actual indicator bulbs has gone, however, all the indicators are working correctly. Any ideas? do these things have a flasher unit that may be faulty??

Thanks
Ben

Should indicate that a globe has gone; thats usually what it means.
Turn your hazards on then walk around the car and look at all six of them.

Thanks, I'll do that, but I did check that all 6 worked but using the indicators themselves, not with the hazards. What has got me confused is the discrepancy with blink rate between the actual indicators and the dash

Everything in these cars is computer controlled - the dash is hyperflashing to tell you that theres something wrong!

It could have an iffy bulb.

Have it scanned, that should point out exactly where the issue lies.

Thanks, problem has strangley resolved itself, so until it does it again I'll let it be.

Cheers
