    All,

    I'm having an issue with my front passenger turn signal. It is flashing faster than normal. I first thought it was a bad bulb plus the light was out, so I swapped out the bulbs but still had the same issue. I found out that when I have my head lights on both turn signal bulbs light up, but I still have the issue with it blinking faster than normal, yet when I put my lights to DRL the passenger side light doesn't work but the driver side does and I still have the fast blinker. Both rear and mirror turn signals work fine outside of them blinking faster than normal.

    Any idea what could be the issue? I don't think it would be the bulb or socket because it works fine when the heads lights are on. I'm thinking the issue might have to do with the blinker flasher relay. Would like some opinions before I start ripping my dash apart. Thanks

    Headlights ON and both turn signals light up is the second filament in the bulb that is your Parking Lights.
    When DRL is selected and you have Passenger's side off, indicates that power is not getting to the bulb, (if it illuminates in the Driver's side after the swap) Check for corrosion inside the bulb socket. If you have a multimeter with long cables you could verify continuity from the bulb pin to the connector in the junction/fuse panel.
