HI
- just noticed my turn signal is not blinking,,,noticed the instrument panel on the dash that the turn signal is blinking faster,,,and the driver side front light signal is not flashing..even though i see the lights on,,but not flashing..tried the emergency idicator..and the front light is not flashing.....thinking it could be the bulb,,as i see two bulbs there..or maybe a fuse...thoughts anyone..what it could be

thanks

reading on the net
mentions possibly flasher relay to be replaced

thoughts anyone

thanks

 

When I read your first post it sounded like you're having 2 different problems? or just one?

When the blinker "blinks" faster, it is the indicator of a blown lamp on that side.

When the blinkers don't work at all with these cars, (including the green indicators on the dash) usually if you turn on the flashers, it'll most of the time will get a sticky relay to work for a while..and that indicates a failing relay....

So, it sounds like you have a bad lamp, at least on the fast blinking side.

After you cycled the hazard lights, did you check the blinkers again?
Try that, and let us know how it works out.

 

tried the hazzard,,no luck
- yes when left turn signal is on, the green dashboard signal goes faster as well as the drivers side back lights rear siganl and the front left signal in the front is not flashing, the amber one...but when i just have my lights on, the amber light are on....so could it still be a blown bulb...even though there not flashing when signal is on,,but when running lights are on the light is on..

thanks

 

Either there are two lamps are in the assy parking & blinkers, (I haven't looked yet) or the lamp is a dual filament (two lamps in one), and the blinker filament has burnt out. (new lamp is needed)

 

Replace the lamp!
It's easy to do and cheap!

 

I finally had a look at mine, it's a single lamp (amber in colour), with twin filaments..So the blinker filament on your lamp is burnt out, but the other filament for the running light is still OK.
These lamps are available at any parts store, and it takes only a few minuets to change out.

 

Indeed!
