Right Turn Signal!!!

Hello, my LEFT turn signal works fine, but my RIGHT turn signal is not operating correctly. The right turn signal can not be seen outside nor shown from the instrumental cluster, although, I can hear it signal very fast, faster than the left turn signal.

Guidance to how to fix this is much appreciated!!!

Probably re-soldering one of the control boards. A Haynes manual will tell you how to get to them, or there are guides online. The guides will also tell you what to resolder, though you should probably do them all. There are two boards, one is below the door (you remove the plastic piece stopping the door to get to it). One board is for the instruments, the other for the idiot lights, A/C, radio, etc. Don't overheat any chips with your soldering iron or you'll need a new $100 board.

You have a Bulb out.I noticed that my Right Signal Flashed Faster than the Left.I knew I had a Rear Sidemarker Bulb Burnt.I replaced it,and the Flashers now are Good...So,I suggest you take a walk around the car While the signals are On ,and find the Bulb that is Burnt and Replace it.Hopefully it is That simple.

beep

if there is no turn signal flashing up in the cluster the problem isnt (only) a burned bulp...

if the signal is flashing fast in the cluster youve got a burned bulp...
but, as he said, there is no flashing from the clusterlight...

a fast flash indicates a bad bulb or connection between the CPU and bulb.

This is common on all cars built since the mid eighties

wow. .....


....wow.....

you did... check... your bulb... right....?

You might just be low on blinker fluid, check the reservoir. I'm low sometimes after a "spirited" run in the hills.



HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Sorry. Sorry.

Thats not funny. I did check my bulbs and they were fine, I even replaced them to be 100% sure. Remember what I said, "I can't see the signal flashing in my instrumental cluster." Can anyone confirm the right way to fixing this, as I'm pretty new to this.

on my bosses minivan, it goes really fast when theres a bulb out, maybe both yours are out

(you cant go wrong by trying this first because it takes 10 minutes and $3)

edit: silly me, try the bulb in your dash

could be also be a bad flasher board in the CPU. But it is very rare to see one flash fast with no output
