Changed mirror on P Boxer long arm 2014 and reconnected the two plugs inside door panel to new mirror and now warning is on dash about RHS check indicator lamps. All lamps working fine although internal blinking of indicators seems to be faster than the blinking on lamps outside of vehicle. Thinking because I have disconnected original door mirror thats why fault has come up?? Can anyone please give me any advice on how to reset?

Is the indicator bulb in the mirror working, if it is, check, if its the same wattage bulb as the one, in the old mirror?
Fast blinking usually means the wattage of the whole circuit on that side has decreased ( blown bulb or incorrect wattage bulb fitted )
Is the other side blinking at the same rate?

Bulb In new mirror is flashing will check tomorrow if its the same wattage. Read on another post about marker lights on that side also causing that issue but they are all OK. Will check wattage of lamp seems sensible. Thank you.

As stated by Chausson an LED bulb would throw it out of kilter
