I noticed tonight while driving through town that my right turn-signal is ticking/flashing twice as fast as it should be. My left turn-signal is at normal speed. I heard that this is caused by a short circuit? I'm not totally sure and am very uneducated when it comes to wiring. How can I go about fixing this?
I just changed the front ones, so they should be good to go for a while. But it's not just the light flashing quickly, on the inside of the truck in the dash where you see the green arrows flash, they're flashing at twice the speed they should be as well. Would that mean that it's just the bulb or does that mean it's something else?
turn on your turn signal on the side you having the prob with, look at your rear turn signal, these guys are correct, when the signal/clicking noise does double duty it usually means a bulb is burnt out.. on that side..
Nope. A couple weeks ago I put red bulbs in my front turn signal/DRLs, but as far as I know the rear turn signal bulbs haven't been replaced yet. I have had to replace the brake lights though. After 8 years and 104k miles they probably do need to be replaced. I'll have to run by Advance here soon and get a new set. Thanks guys
I fixed this a while ago but my right front turn signal bulb was loose. I took it out and put it back in, made sure it was in all the way, and now everything is fine.
Good to hear. That would be the same as the bulb being burned out in that it would not provide resistance that a good plugged in bulb would, resulting in the fast flash.
Being a part of this forum group has paid off already, my left turn signal started flashing really fast too so I checked the bulbs. The drivers side was out. Changed the bulb works fine now. I did notice though that the back up bulb I replaced on the passenger side is not the same bulb on the drivers side. Anyone know the reason on that ? Thanks guys.
I just replaced my turn signals/DRLs with LED bulbs, and now both of my turn signals are flashing quickly. I can't get the LED bulbs to go in their socket any more than I already have so I know they aren't loose. Anybody else have this problem?
It will require the addition of a resistor. It's an easy fix, but I don't have the details...one of our experts will chime in here soon.
Not to worry, though, you won't hurt anything in the meantime.
I have this issue with my left turn signal, but when I check the lights on the outside, they are both (front and rear) flashing. I have not touched the bulbs, could it still be a bulb issue, or is there something else that may be causing this?
