Blinker problems

DANBROWN · 11-25-2008, 06:55 AM

ok another problem I need help with. I have 99 tacoma and noticed my blinker light on the dash when I turn left was blinking really fast, my rear blinker is also blinking very fast but the front blinker is dead. I replaced the front bulb and it looked burned out, tried two differant ones but still not working and the dash and rear blinker still blinking at about three times the normal speed. when I turn on the right blinker it is at normal speed and front and rear normal.. thanks in advance guys...Dan

Ok have you the fluid? My old truck ran out of it!

LMAO
yo want to check fuses and be sure they are the right ones and not burned out. Also could be wrong bulbs, just some ideas.

Take a bulb out of the RIGHT side front blinker (one that you know is working) and put it in the left side and TEST. If everything is good when you use the left signal - then you probably been putting the wrong type of bulbs in. If its still blinking fast - then there could be something wrong with the socket (the bulb plugs into) or the connections. I would unplug the wiring from the socket, inspect, clean if possible and plug it back in and test again. If your'e still having problems.... If possible - swap sockets from left to right and test.

Do you happen to have wiring for trailer lights. I've found this is often the root of some of those problems.
