Till last night the car was fine, this morning when I switched left signal to trun left and noted that the relay noise for indicator was too fast, and I got a message in dashboard, saying "left turn signal"
After parking the car, I turned on hazard lights and everything works like it should. However, when I tried left signal, the front, and side panel signal works but tail light signal does not.
Is there anything I can check before taking it to the auto electrician ?
Thanks

Clean the contacts on the bulb and holder or replace it with a known brand bulb. Check the earth connection on the loom. You could swap it side to side & see if the fault moves.

An odd one that as it all works on the hazards. Is the indicator relay the same as the hazards relay I wonder.

Thank you both for replies.
It is all LED, there is no bulb. When I press the hazard, I can hear the relay working in normal rhythm, I hope hazard uses the same relay as for turn signal.
As per a reply on another forum, it appears that hazard works on SAM unit, whatever that is, and indicator system works separately.
I would appreciate if someone can guide me in the right direction.
Thanks

Did you find any solution? I have the same problem with my rear led turn indicator.
