Turn Signal Issues

jayg · 06-20-2008, 05:49 PM

OK...today I noticed the my right turn signal beeps and flashes slower than my left one. This is new but there is a huge difference. There is a .25 second delay between beeps and blinks on the left and there is a 1.5 sec delay between beeps and blinks on the right. My main fuse under my seat is good. I did move my wires to their proper resting place behind the instrument panel.

I also checked all connections and they look good as well.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks,
Jay

You might need to replace the bulb in the slower signal, it could be burning out!

On the slow side both lights blink...

You mean front and back signals blink too quick.....from my experience one wrong bulb or if its not quite installed properly all the indicators can blink too slow, it might be something else but check the bulbs first, thats the easiest problem to solve!

I will try to make a video if I can...The difference is between the sides. The left turn signals both front and back blink faster than the right side front and back.

I think if You replace all the bulbs with the exact same number You will cure it..Some bulbs draw more and some draw less which might be the cause of the erratic blinking.

Maybe

Might be

And the china bulbs are probably random wattage. What ever fell into the bucket that day.

I checked the lights and the volts and watts were the same on both the right front and rear bulbs. This is crazy but it worked, I moved the right rear buld to the left rear and placed the left rear bulb in the right rear...it started working. :?

CHEAP bulbs.

The turn signal bulbs are the only ones I haven't replaced yet. They are still working.
