Signal light

Guys---my signal light operates "normal" on left turn...."tick tok tick tok tick tok".......but when I do a right hand turn it's a LOT faster! What would be causing this? Might sound stupid....but it just drives me nuts---DirtySCREW

Step out while the right turn signal is on to see if you have a bulb burned out. Typically the faster cycle is a sign that a bulb is out and the resistance has changed. Let us know what you see.....

Yup What arubba said. You have a bulb out on the right side.

From: the moral high ground
My Lexus has a warning light on the dash to indicate a burned out brake light.
However, it doesn't indicate a burned out turn signal, it uses the 'fast blink' for that fault.

The 'fast blink' has been the indicator for long time. I remember my autos from the sixties doing it.

My Ford still has all factory bulbs, I haven't even replaced the license plate bulb yet.
