Default My passenger side blinkers are possesed....

Just out of the blue... when I signal to turn right.. .the signal is blinking at about twice the speed as the drivers side now.
Hazards work fine.. and none of the bulbs are burned out.

Any ideas?

I do have aftermarket bulbs.. but they are rated exactly the same as stock.


also... this car has never been in a heavy rain... The only time it's wet is when I am washing it.

Do you hear any voices saying 'geeeeeet ouuuuuuuuut' when you turn to the right? Or maybe the car is migrating itself into a NASCAR and will soon only do left turns. It's gonna take you forEVER to get places!! [8D]

I've been hanging my sunglasses on the blinker switch.. I wish there was a better place for them.

Sorry aboutyour trouble. It looks like everyone is a smart a$$ when blinkers are in question... [8D]

From your link: "change your blinker fluid and if that does not work then you might have low halogen fluid"

Hopefully your fix will be easy!!

Agree, make sure you check the brake lights also.

Check your passenger side floor board, is it wet? If so you could have the old water leak coming from the cowl area. I had it and the water leaked all over my junction box. Thankfully i had no electrical gremlins cause i caught it early. Just a thought.

Yeah my passenger side blinker did it after about 6mos but stopped. Domestic cars tend to do it right before the light goes out. Funny thing is, mines stopped after a week or two, then the light went out a year later. What's that about?

+1, the fast blinking flasher is a warning that you have a light out......
