One day i was driving, and me being the cureous driver that I am, always uses the turn signals, well at least 95% of the time I do. Anyways, I went to turn right and the signal was flashing super fast. The clicking sound was quick, and the green arrow on the console was flashing quick as well. At first I thought it was a broken bulb, I wnt out to check and the rear turn signal was working fine, just blinking fast, while the front turn signal wasnt comming on at all. There I thought it was the bulb, no biggie. Later, the right turn signal works again, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. This has been going back and forth, working normal to go in hper mode. Is there a relay problem? Something wrong with the bulb? Ive had these bulbs for a while now? Thanks for any help.

Remove the bulb from the front socket. and there will be two contacts inside the plug. Take a flat head screw driver and pull them out so that they make contact better. When you push the bulb back in it will push against the contacts better getting the light on every time.

 

You are wise my local friend, so would this be the reason why this is happening? Or just a thought that wouldnt hurt

 

I managed to jam a bulb in the signal light backward when I first was changing the bulbs and put it the right way. When I tried the signal it wouldnt work and the interior signal was blinking fast as well as the back one on that side but the other side was fine. So I took out the bulb and noticed that the silver connections were pushed inside the wedge, so I took a flat head like I said above and pulled them out, and it fixed.

 

Well, this is the first time its happened since I first put them in about less than a year ago. =P

 

 

Do what Luke noted to make sure it's not just a connection issue. If that doesn't fix it, replace the bulbs at all 4 corners. If that doesn't fix it, try the flasher relay. I'm betting on a bad connection due to corrosion.

 

Thanks

 

It's going to be a problem with the bulb contacts or the wiring harness on that front right turn signal.
I had a similar thing - although it was a bit easier to troubleshoot:
My turn signals would work fine below 50mph or so - above that the left turn signal was flashing double time - at night I could see the rear one was working by looking in my mirror and seeing it reflect on road signs.
Here's the explanation:
The previous owner had his front left clear corner fall out of the car while driving - so the wires were severed and had to be rejoined. At speed the air flowing through the fog light hole was moving the wiring that was dangling there, and causing the join to not make contact. At lower speeds the wires would settle back to their normal position and once again have electrical contact. Solution - resolder the join.
