  • Fast blinking turn signal bulbs

    From AK@21:1/5 to All on Thu Nov 23 01:56:35 2023
    I am trying to figure why my turn signal bulbs blink rapidly when I use my right turn signal.

    Both bulbs light up.

    So, I assume they work.

    Check the globes are the same wattage. Check that the earths to the body
    are making good contact.

    Did you have mix of LED and incandescent?

    I’ve had a case where one bulb was out making it happen, a 30 cent fix. I had a charity case whose van I’d been fixing, when family politics got in the way so I left it unexamined cause it still worked. A small town cop stopped it and sent the driver
    to a shop that charged $250, probably his brother in law.
