When I activate either turn signal, let's say the left one, the left indicator in the tach flashes once alone, brightly for the first blink, then both left & right flash together after that. All four turn signal bulbs (L/R, Front/Back) are OK.

I spent 10 minutes searching on this topic and I found one post that said this is normal, and another post that eluded to it being a problem.

From the outside (where it matters) all seems OK but it's a bit disconcerting to the driver. Is this how it is supposed to be?

Tnx,
Dave
