hey guys after seeing how smart everyone is, id like to know whats wrong with my right turn signal. i replaced it a while back cuz it had burned out. i put in a new bulb the exact same kind, but now it blinks atleast 2X as fast as my left signal. any ideas as to what it is?
thanks so much guys

yes both the front and year turn signal blink but they are sped up from how they originally were

There might be some difference in the bulb. Usually when u install LED's they blink faster. They draw such a low voltage that the ECU thinks they are burnt out. Maybe it's the same size bulb and base but only 6 volts instead of 12, or less watts. Hope that helps.

i checked both of the bulbs and the are the exact same voltage. the new one isnt a LED.

Try the new bulb in the other side and see if the problem follows the bulb, double check the original and the new bulbs actual #s

To re: LEDs draw a low current... and ECU and turn signals ??

so i just swapped the bulbs over to test it. and they are both blinking faster than they should be. all connections are correct. bulbs are the exact same just one newer than the other.

Your flasher unit may be failing...? How do the 4 ways work ??

everything is working fine except for the bulbs themselves it seems.

How does it act with the 4 way flashers switched on ??

with the 4-way flashers turned on all the lights are blinking at a uniform speed like they would with no problem. but when using just the right turn signal it still blinks too fast

Start by pulling the steering column covers off and inspect the wires and connection at the combo switch (turn signal switch). It's either the combo switch itself, a bad wire between the combo switch and the turn signal, or a bad ground.

You can also download the manual and diagnose it yourself with a multi-meter.

its a 1991 hatchback. like ive said there are no loose wires first thing i checked. the old bulb worked fine before it burned out.

So you are using #1156 bulbs ??

Like I said- download the manual and diagnose the combo switch
