Blinker question

Why would my left turn signals blink at a normal rate while my right turn signals blink at mach speed. It looks like a strobe light!! I put the flashers on and they all blinked normally, any ideas how I remedy the situation?

Do all your lights work? Have you checked to be 100% sure? That fast blinking is a built in safety feature to tell you when a blinker light is out.

Still exists in Toyota's today!

Have you checked the blinker fluid? j/k It's probably a bad bulb.

The fast blinking usually indicates a bad bulb or connection on the side blinking faster.

wow 3 replies within seconds of each other.

I'm going to step out on a limb and suggest a burnt bulb. I'm sure there will be others that chime in with their ideas, probably going to say the same thing as me. Toyota has a built in safety feature that causes your blinker to blink quickly if ones burnt out.

didnt read all the reply's, but Toyota's blink fast when there is a bulb burned out (or broken out depending on if you've been wheeling lately) i'd check to make sure all the light are working.


if not convert to synthetic blinker fluid.

I was always told it meant your High beam fluid was low?
