passenger side front blinker not work?

[Howard Hu]

hey..the blinker on the front right hand side doesn't blink..but it turns on..just doesnt blink..and the rear one blinks twice as fast...

i changed the bulbs..its no use...any ideas?

[Mike Schmid]

When your turn signal bulbs start blinking fast it means a light is burnt out.  The overall circuit resistance changes, which, because of the flasher design, changes the rate of the flash.  

It still turns on because there's 2 filaments, one "low beam" for park lights, one "hi beam" for signals.  Pull the bulb out and get a new one at Lordco... $0.50 or so.  

EDIT:  Oops, I just realized you said you changed the bulb, you sure the bulb is good?  Other than that it would be a wiring problem.

[Howard Hu]

yeah im pretty sure it's a wiring problem..but i have no idea what

[Mike Schmid]

Did you change the headlights?  If so maybe you pinched a wire or something.  Some vehicles have left blinker and right blinker fuses, so I'd say that but it's not because the rear one blinks.  The wire is broken or corroded or something somewhere between the flasher and the front light.  Before the flasher is good because the back lights works.  The ground will be good because the "low beam" filament comes on. Check the socket for any obvious corrosion, cracking or damage.  If you can't find any obvious error you'll probably have to find the flasher, then put a jumper wire from there to the turn signal.  Really make sure it's not the bulb though.  Swap with a known working bulbs and see if the problem switches sides first.  If it doesn't than it is wiring.

Is it possible you may have changed the bulb with a single filament bulb instead of the double filament bulb??

[Dan Powers]

Strange, I have had something similar happen to me.  I turn on the blinker & it jsut turns on & it doesn't blink.  The easy fix for me when it happens is I turn on my Hazard lights then turn them off.  After that the signals work.  I have no clue how it works, but it does.  

[Howard Hu]

yeah that hazard light thing doesn't work fo rme

yes id id change the headlights to new projectors...but they were working fine for a while..and i changed the bulb but yeah that works too

mabe its damage..is it easy to fix? cuz i haf no idea how to do that stuff lol

[John Hartman]

try the relay

[Howard Hu]

wutz dat
im a retard when it comes to technical stuff

[John Hartman]

hehe, no prob, its a little box,about an inch by an inch by an inch.

It controlls your signals and maybe your hazards?

you'd hve to use a manual to find it.

Or listen really carefully when the signal(one that works) is on and see if you can find it.

[Howard Hu]

icic
after i find it
then what?

[John Hartman]

change it

you could get another 2g club member to let you try thiers and put yours in thier car and then you would know for sure.

They are cheap tho if it turns out to be the problem.

[Howard Hu]

anyone wanna help me out? =P
