fast flashing indicator means a bulb is out, not necessarily the flasher can

hehe, put a new coloured indicator bulb in and it has fixed everything ,thanks for the help, dont know why i didnt check this , i think because the indicator light on the dash was still coming on and I had a flasher unit will fix it tattooed on my brain..
I didnt fancy having an auto electrician chasing short wires at a Zillion $$$ an hour.

Again thanks for your help , love this forum.....

if you took it to an auto elec he probably would straight away have checked the globes, but charged you for either 1/2 or 1 hour of labour for his trouble
