Turn signal light/bulb problem

Post by JCNiest5 »

Hi all...I have a problem. Just recently, my right turn signal (in the cluster) started blinking really fast and I inspected both rear and front bulb and the rear turn signal would blink really fast but the front turn signal acts dead. So, I bought a new bulb and installed it, but still no power is coming to it and the right turn signal still flashes really fast with only the rear end blinking. I have not inspected the contact or connector yet, should I start with those or does anyone know of other definite cause? Where else can the problem be if not those?

Yes I would start with the connector and bulb plug. The reason it's blinking fast is because the bulb isn't there. Fix that, and the blinking rate will return to normal.

Just an update...yes, it was the connector/electrical contact. I swiggled it and bent some pins closer together and that fixed the problem. It's working good now. Thanks for reading or offering advice.
