Car Turn Signal Operates Rapidly
A flasher unit is incorporated into the system and is used to break and then
reconnect the turn signal lighting circuit, this is what creates the blinking action.
This flasher depends on resistance in the lighting system (front and rear bulbs)
to operate correctly. If a bulb fails the resistance in the system changes causing
the flasher to blink quickly. To check for this condition:
Troubleshooting Procedure
- Turn the key to the on position (do not not start the engine). Actuate the
blinker lever in the direction of the malfunctioning turn signal.
- Inspect bulbs front and rear, replace failed bulbs as needed. If you have replaced
the bulb and it still blinks fast, plus the bulb does not illuminate properly
the ground circuit inside the bulb socket has failed. To repair this condition
remove the bulb socket and replace with new.
- When the repairs have been completed recheck the turn signal system operation.
