Turn signal flash rate. One side is DIM
I am asking your help in tracking down a problem with my turn signals.
I have a 95 Civic 4 door.
The turn signals operate as normal on the passenger side.
On the drivers side the turn signal flashed at a rate double the one the passenger side, while the drivers side front turn signal is very dim compared to the flasher on the passenger side.
I have checked the fuses and find nothing wrong.
Can you please tell me what to check and/or replace?
Thank you.

Or the dim one on drivers front, it may not be drawing enough current.

It sounds like corrosion has taken over, unless some other event took place. I'd take that bulb out and clean the contacts on it, and the socket, or clean the socket and replace with a known good bulb.

Thread is 6 years old........
Bulb may just be old or there's a bad/loose connection, or a half broken wire
