I was driving around town yesterday and noticed that my turn signals were blinking at an almost strobe like beat. I'd hate to be a cause for a siezure and have someone rear end my car. Is this a sign that the relay is about to go?

 

A bulb is probably blown.

 

Blown bulb.

 

Most cars do this to let you know that you have a bulb out.

 

Bulbus blownus.

 

+993 ON THE BULB. Anyone else?

 

What they said.

Another thought: If you changed your bulb to LEDs the resisters may be loose.

 

Thanks for your responses, They're the standard bulbs.

 

I concur. Was this the problem Harlan?

 

I didn't spend much time diagnosing the problem but it seems like all of the bulbs were lighting properly. It's really puzzling, still blinking rapidly...

 

Bad contact in a light bulb socket.

Take out every turn signal bulb, clean the socket, reinstall, report. I would bet on one of the rears being the culprit.

 

If mikes method doesn't work, I'd replace the relay.

 

...if you can find it. Muahahahahah...

 

Hmm, is it hard to find? Labeled odd? Doesn't exist? I've never looked.

 

is the indicator experiencing the following problem?
now its working, now its not working, now its working, now its not working, now its working, now its not working?
all cars in ireland have apparently just been recalled, was this an import?


sorry always cracks me up...
