Repair of rapidly flashing turn signal by removing/cleaning bulb socket contacts.. Repair done on a 1996 Lexus ES300 but same principles should apply to any vehicle.. This is the spray I used in the video made by Radio Shack and difficult to find: www.hobbytown..... This spray should work just as well: www.google.com...

That's what I needed. Blinking driver's side turn signal with all lights working. Looking forward to try.

@ChrisJohnson-lb8ul 4 года назад

Thanks a million Peanut Butter Man, my old WRX was blinking right rapidly, it was driving me crazy. The 2011’s had tight wiring and connectors can be come partially unplugged apparently... so my car was in pieces and I was about to take it down to nuts and bolts chasing the rabbit down the hole. Then I came across your video. Cleaned the contacts and bingo, job done.... So glad I found your video! I am one of just a few drivers in Massachusetts using his blinkers because I am just so happy they work : ) Thanks Man!

Thanks for this post!! I had no idea what was causing my fast blinking after replacing all the lamps with new ones. It was driving me crazy.

Thanks a lot. This happened on my passenger side. The socket and bulb wasn't even that dirty, just a tad of corrosion and that was it. Cleaned both and fixed it.

Check your emergency/blinker relay?

@Magotr1 7 месяцев назад

I had a similar situation but with my motorcycle…. i had just replaced the left turn signal bulb (two filament bulb, not LED) and it started blinking too fast, while all other bulbs were OK. I pulled out the new bulb again, turned it 180 degrees and installed it again. This time it worked just fine! Maybe it was a polarity issue 🤷‍♂️

@stevenbolt831 3 года назад

I dont know if it matters with signal bulbs, but i would also shy away from touching the actual bulb because of oils on your hand. Idont know if thats still a thing, but you can never be to careful

@tongo117 3 года назад

I think that's just for halogen bulbs cause they burn so hot.. Low wattage signal bulbs much cooler so not an issue.. But yeah, it's easy not to touch bulb during install so better safe than sorry..

might just be a burned out bulb in the front.. have you replaced bulb with new?? or swap bulb with the same size bulb from other side light.. spray i used was from radio shack, no longer available.. this is basically the same: www.walmart.com/ip/CRC-QD-Electronic-Cleaner-11-Wt-Oz/16817418?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=605&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=2222222227716817418_117755028669_12420145346&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-394283752452&wl5=9193272&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=16817418&veh=sem_LIA&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrp-3BhDgARIsAEWJ6SzsDWSH2c7Zzbjd-R97AM3KOgtPi_eD8nesAwbl8t7A9KYwR-A9oZsaAtlrEALw_wcB

Check your hazard lights.. If they also light up but don't blink your hazard/flasher relay may be bad.. That relay is usually found in the fuse box located in the engine compartment.. Here's more info: www.autoblog.com/2016/01/19/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-hazard-turn-signal-flasher/

I would either take a picture of the part you need and go to a local dealership parts dept or check salvage yards..

mine is actually weird. The front passenger blinks fast and the back passenger bulb stays on but doesn't blink at all. I changed the relay also.

@ronnelgbm7545 2 года назад

My taillights running bulb doesn’t work but when it break it still works, is it wiring problems or the bulb itself?

@tongo117 2 года назад

Bulb shown in video is a dual action 1157 bulb.. Two filaments inside glass and two contacts on bottom (base) of bulb.. If you have the same 1157 bulb one filament could be burned out and one still good.. So yes, your problem could just be the bulb..

@Uchiha 3 года назад

So I have a Honda dc5 or in America it’s called the Acura rsx, what my one does is that when the key is plugged into the car the passenger side front and rear indicator starts ticking fast without me even turning any indicators on. Any idea what the issue could be?

@tongo117 3 года назад

A guess but, bad turn signal relay possibly?? Relay would be located in one of your fuse panels.. Most likely the one in the engine compartment..

i put in brand new headlight on driver side an when i used turn signal noticed the arrow itself was moving faster an louder. the headlight doesn’t show any turn light in the front but the rear does, would this be same issue ?

@tongo117 Год назад

possibly yes, it's likely either the driver's side front turn signal bulb is bad, loose in the socket or there's corrosion at the terminals..

I installed LEDS on my ‘06 civic and now both front and rear signals blinking rapidly. I was told a resistor kit was needed. I didn’t try spraying the contacts in the socket yet but I do have some WD-40 in the shed. Do you think I need a resistor kit or should I just try cleaning and spraying the WD-40?

@tongo117 4 года назад

The WD40 won't hurt, and I have no experience with LED bulbs, but the little research I did points to the need for resistors.. www.diodedynamics.com/led-resistor-kit-pair.html

@rld1278 3 года назад

I have a Honda CR-V doing this. I got it used so I don't know if they out in led or not.cam this be fixed by putting in regular bulbs?

@markmunar8946 3 года назад

@@rld1278 look at the bulb, if it’s an LED then it’ll blink fast because it’s drawing less power from the battery which is telling the car that the bulb’s out. Hence why it blinks fast. LED or not, try changing the bulb and see if it’s blown or not. Hope that helped!
