hazard fast flash - SOLVED
iv used the original mx5 loom, original mx5 hazard switch/relay, RDX led rear indicators, motorbike front indicators, and led side repeaters
when operating indicators to turn left or right everything flashes at correct speed
when operating hazards i get fast flash? but if i disconnect the front indicators it flashes at normal speed?
anyone know whats going on or how to solve?

On older cars a blown bulb used to make them flash faster - have you checked all the bulbs are working?

all indicators work fine when operating for turn signal

Try replacing the LEDs with bulbs.

You probably need resistors because the LED lamps have a different resistance to conventional bulbs, google LED flasher resistors

yeah you can get an LED chip controlled flasher relay from Halfords (just two connections) which solves all these problems

If your flasher is 3 pin, you can also get fixed rate flashers in that format.
The important term is 'fixed rate' .
The disadvantage is that you do not get any indication of a failed bulb / led
The Answer for everything, but never the last word....
