Re: Blinker Light..

My car has the same exact problem. Sometimes it will work and then other times it doesn't. But, yeah the blinker blinks really fast and the tail light looks like it goes back in forth (alternates) in lights. I replaced the bulb with a brand new one. I am thinking it is either a connection problem or wireing problem. I have also heard the relays can go bad.

Re: Blinker Light..

Go to Valvoline or whatever and have them do a flush and fill on your blinker fluid. Not having enough fluid or not changing it every 30k like you are supposed to can degrade the quality of the fluid and cause an irregular blinking. They should be able to get it fixed in like 10 minutes, that would be a good time to get the oil changed on your car and probably check the tranny fluid too.

Re: Blinker Light..

The lights are supposed to blink faster when there is not a complete circuit (i.e. a bulb is burned out) to let the driver know they have a bulb out, i bet there is a loose wire somewhere, probably the harness that connects to the light.

DING DING DING ....... we have a winner.




EZ said it right, incomplete circuit causes faster blinking. Are all of your blinkers blinking? On all four corners of the car?
