I've only seen this happen on old jalopies. As of this evening, my precious 4runner is doing it! The left turn signal display on the dash flashes at a much faster frequency than normal. The left rear turn signal flashes at the same wacky rate, while the left front turn signal does nothing. Any ideas?

 

funny, some ricers pay to do this

my dads camry did the same. we asked toyota and they said something was shorting out or something like that...

it fixed itself

 

Replace the bulb that does nothing. Mine did the same thing. It's just that the bulb not blinking is burnt out.

 

Bulb is out...the fast rate lets you know that its out.

 

ya, bulb is out or gonna be out soon.... lots of cars do this.

 

I'll try replacing the bulb tommorow. I never would have guessed that the dash display was telling me the bulb was burnt out. Thanks guys!

 

If the bulb change dosen't fix it look for some funky trailer wiring harness issues.

 

haha sucks for me. ill never have that happen to me.. i got a 1-12X adjustable blinker relay off ebay.. 12x slower than normal, or 12x faster.. (btw at 12x faster looks like i got strobes!) i think the guys email was nebos36@yahoo.com you should see if he can get one for you guys

 

:pat: Fellas, it simply means one of your turn signals is out. Since only half the voltage being sent is used (only 1 bulb, since one is dead) it will blink twice as fast. Simply replace the bulb and all will be normal.

 

Yeah, what he said...

 

means you havent been off road enough and the trons in the battery are getting ANXIOUS :pat:

 

Look at the third post. Said exactly what you said.

 

I realize, just explaining that it's not black magic or anything other than simple physics.

 

I still think its anxious trons

 

 

only half the voltage being sent is used? thats not simple physics, its wrong physics :pat:

 

Isn't that referred to as OHM's law?

.......which has to do with anxious trons.
