Help: Turning signal ticks too fast!

I don't know if this applies to your vehicle.. however in my old 1992 Toyota Corolla.. the same issue occurred and it was that the actual front signal light was out. When I replaced it the clicking went back to it's regular ticking pace. Just posting in case it is something as simple as that and not electrical. Fingers crossed for you.

C.H.

Check the left side turn signal bulbs.

I30. I still have not figured that out. At the mean

be. Right signal still works as before. Apparently,

point to right direction how to check?

I just went to my car and test the bulbs. Interestingly, now the turning signal ticks at normal speed and signal bulbs are alright. I will keep an eye on it when it happens again. Hopefully it is just a bulb issue.

Thanks for all helps.

Bulb where either the filiment recontacted reclosing the circuit or a socket is going bad, that happend on my work truck (2002 Isuzu NPR Boxtruck) Front passenger side socket was going bad, replaced the socket and no more problems.

Burned out bulbs don't fix themselves, so it's not a burned out bulb.

Maybe a bad connection (loose bulb, corroded bulb socket, lose plug).

Actually it's very comon for the filiment to be broken and hitting a bump can make the ends retouch and reconnect "fixing" the burned out bulb for a short time.

Besides the other suggestions mentioned, it could be moisture in the lamp socket.

Depends on flasher type. Apart from squirrels, possibilities:

- Lamp(s) blown, connector off; = less load with electronics flasher.

- Short circuit (water in lamp assy?); = more load with old electromech bi-metal flasher.

The fast clicking on the signal lights, usually means that there is a lamp bunt out. I have also had a lamp have the contacts in to the socket become oxidized a little, thus causing poor contact. Cleaning the contacts on both the lamp, and in the socket, fixed things.

Sometimes the filament burns out real close to the mount and through vibration re-connects and the spark makes a small weld and the bulb works for a while longer.

If you want, we can even figure out if you had your brake lights on before the crash or after.

'96 I30 has turn illumination lights (bright white light that illuminates the turn, they are adjacent to the fog lights in the lower corners of the front bumper) as well as the blinking lights. Maybe one of the cornering lights is out?

Typically a fast signal indicates that one of the turn lamps needs replaced.
