05 turn signals

05 turn signals

Hi all,
I have a small problem on the wifes 05. Recently the left signal starts
blinking and sounding twice as fast as the right signal. The lights both
work, but, they now flash twice as fast as the right signals. Any and all
comments will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

You have a burned out bulb.

Hi Ed,
Thanks for your prompt response. All four bulbs are working, the problem
is, the front and rear on the left side are flashing twice as quick as the
right side.

Re: 05 turn signals

Are you sure that one of the two rear bulbs on the left side is not burned
out? Each rear light assembly (left and right) has three bulbs, but only
the two outer ones blink (together) for turn signals. All three bulbs light
up only for brakes.

When you say "all four bulbs" do you mean one left-front, one right-front,
one left-rear and one right-rear? Or do you mean the two left-rear and the
two right-rear? The fast blinking is supposed to indicate a burned out bulb
as Ed mentioned.

I just went out and re-checked the turn signals (It is now dark in
Arkansas).....Ed was correct, my left rear inboard bulb is burned out. I
didn't pay close enough attention to detail in the sunlight this morning.
Larry, thanks for letting me know there were two bulbs in each rear turn
signal.
