How To Fix Fast Turn Signal/Blinker

If anyone has the problem where there blinker clicks on at twice the speed it normally does then you have a common problem. Here's a couple of tips on how to fix it cheaply and easily:

Usually, this problem is in an indicator of a burnt out light bulb, which means that some part of your car will not be blinking at all so you should FIX IT NOW because people won't see you switching lanes. The other possibility is an electrical problem usually in the wiring or some relay. This is unlikely, but if you switch out the bad bulb and nothing changes you should send it to a professional unless you are a master electrician.

These bulbs are fast, easy, and a super cheap fix for only about $5 bucks!

What causes an older cars turn signals to flash at a slower rate, nothing is wrong with the bulbs, wiring, relays..etc..?

@sandrochatlos1 hmmm, maybe refill the blinker fluid ;) lol jkkk, um its most likely the bulb. There are different resistances and if the bulb doesn't fit the factory specs it could cause this problem. What year is the car, how do you know they're blinking slowly, and are there any modifications to the turn signals? Could help me a little more...

pretty good vid execpt you are wrong on one thing. You say if ur hazards work ur relay is fine. Thats were your wrong my hazard lights worked and i still had to replace my turn signal relay and everything is good now.

@bigbuckj86 thanks man, that's what google told me. I guess it's not always so reliable all the time

if you have a fast turn signal problem try swapping the relay for another one(only if you have an extra one somewhere around the house) if you don't have an extra fuse or the new fuse doesn't work, swap all your turn signal light bulbs"ALL FOUR"(from the bad side to the good side) chances are this will do it"i recommend you first swap your light bulbs the mess with the relay" THIS WORKED FOR ME IT CAN WORK FOR YOU : )

Had this exact problem today...went to Jeep dealer who told me I might have all kinds of problems with wiring. I asked for a new bulb and situation is corrected now...however this happened 8 months ago and a new bulb was installed at that time also. Try a new bulb before letting the dealer touch your car. Funny thing is the the old bulb that was taken out looked good but there was a burnt spot on the glass of the bulb. Any ideas from anyone?

@sandrochatlos1 Rust, my friend :) In my case slow blinking was caused by wire problem. Ground connector of rear lamp was eaten by rust causing no connection to body. Current found the way through other lamps adding resistance. Try cleaning with sandpaper both connectors and body screw.

@sandrochatlos1  It has nothing to do with the bulb. The turn signal flashers get worn out. When you replace the turn signal flasher, the bulbs will flash faster. There are two flashers, one for the 4 ways and one for the R and L. Dont worry about the 4 way flasher as they are rarely used anyway.

1988 Dodge Dakota, everything is factory...The hazards blink slower than the turn signals...It's not annyoing to me, but I like when turn signals are slow...lol...
