weird turn signal electrical problem BS
 
The turbo car left turn signal is acting weird. All bulbs are working, but they flash at 2x speed and flash dimly. I've replaced all bulbs and swapped relays and it still acts like a bitch. WTF is going on here?

I always thought the speed changed when something was burnt out on the circuit. Are you sure they all work?

Short to ground somewhere?

hustler 06-01-2010 10:23 AM

How would all lights work if there was a short?

jacob300zx 06-01-2010 10:29 AM

Did you just edit my post? WTF

Thanks, I guess I'll go chase wires next weekend. Anything to keep me from installing the oil cooler.

I'm like the cop that accidentally shoots himself. In the end, everyone suffers.

Did you replace the bulb with one of those LED bulbs? Everyone one of my cars that I've replaced them with has done that. Needs a resistor in line or something like that.

I pinched a wire and it just blew the fuse, I doubt it's a short. I guess I'd start by checking under the runner board thingys. I also had a fast blinker that ended up being a bulb seperating from the metal part. If you've replaced all bulbs I guess that couldn't be it though. At least you've eliminated one side of the car. Do the four ways blink normal?

P.S. The quote button is to the RIGHT of the edit button. Lololollllooolll
