Right signal blinks fast

[llll1l1ll]

Simple, the left blinker is blinking normal pace, the right blinker blinks really quick--as if there was a light out, but there isn't a light out.

Checked to make sure the light housing was tight and secure, which it is.

Is it a relay, or is there a bulb about to go bad?

check the actual connection into the light assembly. the metal bumper cars some times work them selves loose a little bit. had the same issue on my eta. wiggled the connection a bit and got it to seat better. its been fine ever since.

[submwar]

try holding the turn signal lever up all the way, putting ample pressure on that connection. problem still persist?

[llll1l1ll]

Well, I don't have a metal bumper car, I have plastics.

I checked the connection anyway, and its all neat and tidy. The bulb has some corrosion on it, perhaps that's it?

Tried holding the turn signal tightly but to no avail.

are both front and rear blinking? could just be a bulb

[llll1l1ll]

That's what I'm thinking since they both blink.

I'll get some bulbs tomorrow if this hurricane isn't so bad.

[Sean T Sat]

yea prob the bulb. my blinkers do that b4 the bulb blows.

[llll1l1ll]

I replaced the back one, still blinked fast. Took the front one out and put it back in (too lazy to go back to advance auto) and its back to normal.

I guess the front one is going bad.

having a similar issue. My right front turn signal (and parking light) have not worked since I got the car. I think it's a ground fault but haven't gotten to repairing it yet. The left signal worked fine until a couple days ago where it fast blinks now.

The left parking light and turning light turn on and the rear lights are OK. When I use the Hazard lights all lights (except right front) blink slow. Any ideas?

Clean the contacts between the bulb and the base and make sure the connectors are clean. Too much resistance is bad.

Make sure you get the exact replacemt bulb listed (I think its the 7506 in the Sylvania catalog) because there are other bulbs that are similar and will fit in the socket but the resistance might be different.

[prb44t]

if the resistance of the bulb was too high why would it flash at normal speeds for the hazard lights, but fast when indicating a turn? Could it be a bad relay or signal stalk?

I'll check the contacts on the right side parking light and clean them. Thanks for the tip.

[prb44t]

I cleaned the contacts but no change. I checked the bulbs and the part #s match. Any other ideas?

[evil_twin]

So did you replace both bulbs?

[prb44t]

yup. New bulbs
