Car electrics question
If they really have gone out altogether, then a fuse has gone and one bulb
eventually failed and shorted out one supposes. I'm surprised, I thought
most cars used leds these days.

OK but the flasher sometimes ticks at double speed when indicating left

now seems to have gone hard. I'd expected to walk around the car and
smugly point-out a dead bulb, but none of the bulbs are working.
None of the bulbs??
Assuming you mean they were all working, I'd still suspect a failing
bulb.
Sometimes a broken filament can go through an intermittent phase before
full failure. Sod's law means that when you did your walk around, it was
behaving innocently. ;-)

errr, none of the bulbs were working means none of the bulbs were working.
Reminds me of a daft joke from childhood (possibly Dave Allen) about
people testing the lights on a car ... sides? "yes"; brakes? "yes";
indicators? "yes" err "no" err "yes" err ... not funny really :-(
