Great -- but I would buy a bulb or two and have them on hand -- likely it was just a corroded contact -- but sometimes the filaments do that as they are getting near the end.

Update, so I pulled the front bulb out, then put it back in figuring i would go to Autozone and replace it myself. When I put the bulb back in, signal began to work correctly, thus something must have been loosened. So, I am good to go, thanks everyone.

Great advice!!! 99% of the time fast blinkers are a result of low blinker fluid. Always check your fluid levels!

Agreed, you can go to Pep Boys or AutoZone and buy the turn signal bulbs for the front and back and do DIY fix for around $20.

God dammit, Joe moved!?

I was just about to roll over there after payday.

Son of a biscuit. Being able to walk home and then back to a garage was the best thing.

All are simple DIY jobs -- but if you don't want to save $50 and don't mind waiting half a day or longer -- then go to any good mechanic shop. Otherwise go to Advance Auto Downtown for relays or bulbs -- or get on ebay or amazon.


GrovePath is 100% on point. Fast flashing is usually indicative of another bulb in the same relay not lighting up and/or not drawing enough of a current, resulting in remaining bulbs flashing too fast. Best bet is to ensure all bulbs in the given side are working properly and lighting up as expected. If all is well, check the relay. They are often easily accessible and very cheap

If you end up replacing a bulb, try and replace all the bulbs of the same type. It will only cost you a bit more, but it will keep things (more or less) synchronized.

Shucks, I hope not! I haven't had any work done in a good 6 months so now I'm going to have to drive by and check!


Yes he is in Bayonne now -- there is a new JCLIST thread on the ever changing Downtown Auto repair shop list -- the boss from IT Crowd might need to search for it.

Joe's closed or moved out of Downtown? Now in Bayonne. He is great - but not at all cheap.

While not a turn-signal specific answer, I go to Joe's Auto right downtown for all my car work.

Any recommended place to have my right turn signal repaired.
The lights works, but blinks/flashes very fast, as does the
inside turn signal indicator on my dashboard.
Again, the signal works, but something is malfunctioning
and need a reliable honest repair place to determine what
is wrong, thanks everyone.
