Question 1020 in the bank

For what reason might the indicator warning light on the dashboard flash too quickly?

  1. Correct answer: When one of the indicator bulbs is not working or malfunctioning.
  2. Malfunction of the dashboard.
  3. Low battery voltage.
  4. When the signal stick is not positioned properly.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: When one of the indicator bulbs is not working or malfunctioning.

The flasher unit is matched to the electrical load of all the indicator bulbs on one side. When one bulb is burnt out or faulty, the load drops and the flasher works faster, so the dashboard light warns you of the fault. If the indicator flashes quickly, check the indicator bulbs and replace the faulty one. Low battery voltage does not cause fast flashing.
