Fast turn light

Hi, I have this strange problem, my left turn light is blinking very fast, it was working normally and it started to do this suddenly. Any idea? Thanks

one of your left turn signal bulbs is out.

I assume you mean its blinking fast inside the car (the arrow).

sounds like a blown bulb to me. put on the 4-waqy and get out and inspect both front and back lights. while we're on the topic of fast blinkers, does any one know what relay or whatever its called to make them blink faster with all bulbs intact.

Blown bulb also. Unless otherwise you are using LED lights then you need to get a resistor for it.

Just curious, but why make them blink faster when they're all good? Seems like it would just give cops a reason to pull you over, anticipating on giving you a ticket for a broken light.

ive seen it done on plenty of other imports around here. the only light issue other than a light out i had gotten pulled over for was the stupid hood lighs on an x-girlfriends car. but you never know what cops will do

it's a feature of the flasher actually.
so you can actually change flashers and eliminate that feature
