Default Replacing rear blinker bulb?

How do you get to the bulbs for the rear blinker? I cant find a good write up on how to do it and it only says how to change the front blinkers in the owners manual.

mines burned out and its blinking 2x as fast

You mean blinker as in the taillight bulbs? because that is what does the blinking when we use the turn signals...unless you have cobra taillights?

If not then this guide from AM http://www.americanmuscle.com/99-04-...t-install.html

is a pretty good write-up you can use to replace the bulbs. I used it to replace my reverse lights for brigher ones. You will need a door panel remover and a 11mm deep socket.

Then again i'm not sure if replacing it will help since you said yours still works it is just blinking twice as fast

do you have sequentials? to change the bulbs you just need to take off the 3 or 4 bolts in the trunk for the tailights to come out. just pull back the carpet. you will see all of them.

You may just be low on blinker fluid...it's sold out now, but Kaleco's pretty good about replenising their stock.

well the blinker is blinking 2x as fast, but one of the back blinker bulbs is burned out which is causing the other blubs on that side to blink 2x as fast. thanks for the link
