blinker

[silveradodude]

What doed it mean when your turn singal blinker blinks super fast but thgen goes back to normal...the lights all work... it only does this sometimes

Loose connection or bad bulb.

 

It is making intermittent connection, and the fast blink is when the conncetion is no good.

 

Hope this helps.

Did you check the blinker fluid level?!? Oh nevermind, GM quit installing blinker fluid dipsticks in '02.

 

Sorry, couldn't resist --

 

Fast blinking I believe indicates a burnt bulb, but only doing it for a second, got me there.

Ditto that. My wife's Buick Skylark was doing that. The socket was bad and no matter how I tried to rig it, it never worked right, so it was off to the boneyard for a new socket assembly. I cut the old one off and soldered the new one in and worked like a charm.

actually blinker fluid was still used in some of the Canadian made vehicles through early 2004. The best way to find out if you have one of these vehicles is to look under the hood for the Halogen fluid resivour. The blinker resivour is located directly under that on the left side of the engine bay. You can always tell that your fluid levels are low if the muffler bearing is starting to make noises. While you are in there check for cross contamiation of the fluids. The Halogen fluid has a yellowish resemblance while the blinker fluid has more of an amber hue. I know I had problems with the resivours mixing when I installed my teflon coated rotors and cross drilled and slotted brake lines.

 

Check it out and let us know what you find ;)

j/k on that previous post...as stated before you have a bulb somewhere on that side of the vehicle that is not making contact with the socket all of the time. Have you replaced any of those bulbs recently? maybe try turning the bulb around and re-connecting.

Don't forget to rotate the air in your tires while you're doing your maintenance. Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrry important!
