My blinker started blinking fast two days ago. I thought ah jeez, gotta replace the bulb. I went to check all of the bulbs and they are fine and working. But the blinker still blinks really fast - it's weird because if I take a turn fast or anything it blinks normal for a second then when the turn is over it will start blinking fast again. Is this a loose wire somewhere or something? If so where do I start looking for that?

 

double check and make sure they are working , lights,breaks,and signal . bulbs aren't much
so if need b try placing a new bulb in the side that blinks fast , this happened to me , and I thought it was a loose bulb cause i pulled it out and reinstalled it . and it started working . ....for about a day , then totally quit . I replaced that bulb 2 months ago . no problems since

 

Could be a loose wire, could be a dirty bulb contact. To check the rear bulbs you have to remove the assembly and by doing so, you have the opportunity to clean the contacts on the harness connector in addition to the socket contacts for each side.

 

Do these cars have a habit of blowing out bulbs quickly? Because I've had to replace a few in the year I've had my car and I'm always seeing S197s with burnt out bulbs. And yes, I put the correct ones in

 

I've replaced one bulb and I've had mien since july 09

 

I've replaced one in my sequentials. Installed sequentials 3 1/2 years ago. Knock on wood.

 

I've replaced out 2 tail light bulbs in 3 years.....In my wife's VW passat, I've changed out her bulbs triple that amount.

 

its hard to tell for sure, when one of mine burnt out i checked every bulb and couldnt see one burnt out, but sure enough it was one of them when i took it to the shop.

 

I haven't had any problem with any of my lights, but still haven't found a way to turn my DRL's off. (Been to 3 dealers, they all say they can't do it) As for burnt out bulbs, I've noticed about 4 out or 5 cars on the road with a bulb out, will be a GM product. (Just a silly observation)

 

The dealer is lying to you. DRLs can be eliminated.
It can also be done with 3 relays...
It can be done and is done all the time.
You got a Canadian stang.
Fast flash equals burned out bulb or
the dreaded 'kill the SJB' water leak...
