one turn signal is blinking fast? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #44863 14 posts Started by DSToyo
when i bought my car, the passanger side blinkers (front & back) blink twice as fast and half as bright, while the drivers side blinks and is bright normal
-i have replaced the bulbs in the front and it didn't do anything at all
-the wires don't look tampered or destroyed at all
i just want to get them to blink the same again and don't really know how to, ive read some other posts on topics like this but dont really get it.

i guess im going to change the bulb in the back to see if that helps kindasad.gif
thanks for any help/suggestions
any bulbs burned out in the back? mine did that but is it was a front light. it burned out, it was the parking light but it did it anyways. so i changed it and it worked. check those tail bulbs
I would imagine that its the bulb. If replacing the bulb doesn't help, you might try replacing the blinker relay.
allright then ive changed the front bulb allready, ill change the bulb in the rear, then we'll see what happens
Either that or one of the bulbs that are pluged into a blinker outlet are LED's. And the other isn't because LED's in your blinkers make your blinkers blink faster
no they're all the same smile.gif
-allright ive replaced both the bulbs (front and back) and nothing happend.
-i think the problem is with front blinker because it only blinks half as bright as the other
-would the wireing be screwed up
-can i make the drivers side blink faster too to match the passenger side
-each blinker has the same bulbs
check the earth of the fittings as a bad earth will give you that fault.

make you put the right bulbs in. I think there single filament bulbs that fit in dual filament sockets.

check turn on all your lights and blinkers to see if they actually blink from the outside of your car.

turn on the emergency blinkers also. See if anything weird is going on.
tried/looked at everything...everything blinks, turned the flashers on and the same problem is happening there too

could it be a relay...how do i replace if so (i know nothing about relays or wireing)
-thanks
bump...anyone know?

You say that the other side of the car is working fine - this means the globes/relay/earth on that side of the car works, so ,
- remove all the globes from the "faulty side of the car" and put them to one side
- remove all the globes from the "functioning side of the car" and put them in the "faulty side of the car"
- test lights

this will show you if it is a globe problem - hopefully it is and u have a fault in one of your globes because, as you say, you have little experience with relays, and earth faults can be a real bitch to track down sometimes.

Good Luck
^what do you mean by globes

i have the same bulbs in each side, tried alternating them, they blink on the outside, just the passenger side blinks twice as fast and half as bright as the drivers side which blinks normally.

when i turn the flashers on the same thing happens on the outside, however on the inside the blinker lights blink like theyre suppose too.

i want to say that the problem is electrical although, all the wires are connecting fine into the housing

-thanks for the help, im going to need to be explained in detail this kind of stuff- im learning as i go with this car
anyone know how i could make the other one blink fast to? just to match, its driving me crazy lol
