something interesting about our cars
today i was driving and the i started hearing something hitting my tire really hard then the black plastic guard thing under the bumper flew off my car . anyways, then i noticed that my right blinker on the dash was blinking really fast whenever i used it... and the left blinker was normal. I never really paid attention to it, so i wondered if my right blinkers were blinking fast too. So i came home and indeed they were! Then i noticed that my front right blinker bulb had fell out of the plug. So i had to take my whole bumper off and the headlight and put it back in! then all the blinker things were normal i guess!!!
to make a short story shorter.. if your blinker bulb falls out of the socket the blinker on the dash will blink really fast!

This is normal on a lot of cars.

Also why did you take your bumper off to fix it? You could have just lifted back the wheel well guards and did it.

o i meant that the blinker went out.. i haven't checked it cuz im too lazy, but when i was unlocking my car, i noticed that the left blinker blinked, and the right one didn't.... so i guess its out? but the blinker on the dash isn't blinking FAST!
