New problem with the car.... check front right turn signal indicator?

a new message appeared today. It says to check front right turn signal indicator.

I checked it and it’s fine.. it’s LED so I can’t change anything anyhow. Does it need a new headlamp assembly?

or.... could it have something to do with me removing my broken blind spot assist radar on the same side? Albeit back bumper. There is no radar connected now. I wrapped the connector in electrical tape to prevent water seepage until I can get my hands on a new radar unit. I drove for two days without the radar before this message appeared.

what are your thoughts?

How did you check it? Did you do a physically inspection to see that it is indeed blinking as it should? Did you check the headlight connector to see if it has any corrosion?

Your car appears to have many electrical issues....

i turned the signal indicator and checked to see if it was blinking in which case it was. I’ll check the connectors tomorrow when it’s bright outside. Thanks!!

its the oem intelligent lighting. I wish it wasn’t as intelligent.

I checked the conenctors today today and everything looks good. I wasn’t able to replicate the error today. Maybe it was just a one off. My new blind spot radar is coming in the mail tomorrow and I’ll connect it first thing. Hopefully that solves it.

All fixed. It was due to the blind spot radar connector. It was corroded and had water buildup. I cleaned the rust and repinned the connector. Popped in a used radar and everything is back to normal!
