    Turn signal problem!

    So my right turn signal is being kinda screwy. It blinks really fast which means that something is not right. I checked the rear signal and it works fine. Then i figured that it might be my front bulb or something. And as i suspected it does not blink. HOWEVER, when i have the parking lights on the bulb itself is working but when i use the turn signal it does not blink. Am i missing something?

    the bulbs are dual filament, one of your filaments is blown.

    just replace the bulb, and while ur down there, clean the contacts as well :)

        Also make sure that they're plugged in all the way behind the housing.... that was my problem.

          the housings are really old, and I'm guessing the metal spring-like contacts are pushed pretty far back.

          what I had to do was get a small screwdriver and pry the little things out so that it would stick out more and make better contact. you might want to do that as well.
