indicators

My van failed the MOT today on the indicators flashing more than a 120 times a minute, in other words they are going like mad,
All the bulbs are working and flashing, - any idea what could be causing it?

I have checked the wires for rust and can't spot anything up with the lights

Thanks

Dave
