This question regards my gf's mazda 323

Her right indicator started flicking really quick one day and now its stayed like that apart from the odd occasion it goes back to normal..

Then driving my brothers mazda 626 today i realised he has the same problem .. right indicator aswell..

Whats the story on that? is this a mazda issue?

Both me and my sister have a mazda 323, she has a hatch and i have the sedan model.

I have never seen this happen to ours.

A fast blinking is usually associated with one of the blinkers being disconnected. (I think)

Check the blinkers on the front and side and back and see if they are all connected fine and if dirty clean the contacts.

My 2c's.

Probably wrong info, but still could help.

sounds like the bulb might be about to die

yeah I think it is the problem cause when I hit the front of my fto, I had to remove the front left blinker to get home.

And every time I indicated left it would go fast, but once reconnected it was fine.

It's to let you know that theres a break in the circuit somewhere.

usually if your indicators are on speed lol, you should check all indicators. If one is blown or not connected, the power doesn't flow correctly which means... fast indicators.

Yeah, the must be a problem in the circuit. When I blew a indicator bulb in my KC laser rally car it was doing this. The KC's being a mazda anyway I'd have to say it must be something like this.
