problem with clear headlights.

Ok, so last night I cleared my headlights. After I tested every thing, I noticed that my passenger side turn signal wouldn't come on. it's plugged in well, and both filaments are intact. Plus, when I turn it on, the rear signal blinks twice as fast and so does the itnerior signal indicator. Any suggessions?

The bulb or fuse is blown.

Sounds like a blown bulb to me. Usually, if you have a blinker go, the interior blinker arrow will give you some notification that one has gone. I think that gm's cars have the arrow stay lit and not blink when one goes. I have never had one go on a honda. Start with the easiest things first. Check fuse, replace bulb, and go from there.

Yeah go with checking the bulb and fuses then go from there I am thinking blown bulb because I have seen in other hondas the blinker goes fast or in the accords I believe it says light out.

ok when the rear bulb is blinking twice as fast as usual and the front bulb doesnt work at all.....
1.) either BLOWN BULB or
2.) BLOWN FUSE
i think the fuse is under the hood in the box in the upper left corner of the engine bay....

The same thing happened to me yesterday when I cleared mine.

I broke one of the filaments.
