Default Turn Signal Issue

Hey all,

I'm having an issue with my left rear turn signal. My left front turn signal flashes really quickly but my left rear won't flash at all... I'm thinking this is an electrical problem. Any recommendations on finding the problem? Thanks.

Your left rear blinker is out. Replace the bulb. It should fix it. The same amount of current is going through the flasher but only half the resistance is present therefore making your front blink twice as fast as if it were on crack.

Try to check if the bulb is busted or the wiring might be disconnected...

When checking the bulb, check inside the socket for corrosion.

Thank you all. This makes sense. I'll just replace the bulb.
