My blinker

98'MustangGT · 08-31-2000, 06:44 PM

When I turn my left blinker on it goes really fast like tick tick tick, really fast, then when i turn on the left blinker, it goes tick..tick..tick, like normal, the problem is, the turn signals outside don't go any faster or slower. Can anyone help me with my "problem"?

You probably have a bulb out somewhere...

Any variance in the voltage, either increase or decrease (burnt bulb or shorted circuit), will cause this. The most common cause is a burnt out bulb somewhere in the lighting system.

Less common causes are other interruptions in the circuit, such as loose wires\connections or building rust\gunk in the bulb recepticles...

My blinker has done that before. It will only do it when I have the wheel turned to the left at a certain point and try to turn my blinker on. No problems with the right blinker. ???

Sorry, I meant to say that the right blinker has no problems what so ever. But, the left one still does, I guess I'll have to take it into the dealer after labor day

My first time bringing it to the dealership since I bought it!
