Turn Signal Problem

[tbone]

My left turn signal is flashing quickly. So I went to check which bulb was out, but they all work fine. Any ideas?:confused:

Are you sure they all are working? A "fast" flasher usually means that there is a bulb out.

[tbone]

Yes. Positive.

did you check ALL of your lights on that side? Brake lights included?

[RoyLPita]

Just so you know, there are 2 bulbs in each tailight assy.

My thoughts exactly. Tail Lights might be OK; but the brake lights may be out on one side. Have someone else hit the brake while you check .... center highlight too.

I've noticed the same issue on my right turn signal, but it seems to be intermittent, gonna have to check into it further.

Fiddle with the hazard switch. Turn it on-off-on-off a dozen times. Trust me.

Thanks guys. I've got some things to look into now............

I'd take out each bulb and visually check it.

^^+1^^, Had the same problem and after removing and cleaning socket and bulb base worked fine

I'd also use some bulb grease aka silicone dielectric grease.

It was a brake light filament. I thought the flashing was only if it sensed a bad turn signal filament. Cool!
Thanks guys!

The brake lights ARE the turn signals...

you can often have a burned out bulb, that still actually works. one filimant will break and drop down and touch the other one. 2nd the bulb grease on every bulb every time. You would not believe how many folks come in for new sockets all the time. $$$$

2 filaments. One is turn signal, the other is parking/brake light.

So you charge them for a socket when all they need is a new bulb?

Whatever. I really don't care as long as it works.

I had this same problem with my stock bulbs. It was like a fast blink with a skip. Almost like a rythem. Once I switched to less and put the blinked fix in, of course it stopped.
