When I push on my blinker handle to the left real fast the indicator light does not work and when you push it real slow it works like it is suppose to?

I have replaced both bulbs. I have figured out that push the blinker handle fast you can hear it blink but it does not work. If you push the blink handle slow it works like it is suppose to.

Re check your bulbs. You have one out soemwhere. Compare the bulbs to the side that works good.

I was barely clipped in the left front end of my car, I replaced the light bulb, checked the fuses but the turn signals won work, none of them. The hazard lights work but no turn signals. Not a light, a click or anything

Have you checked the flasher? Do any of the lights come on?

Turn Signals on 1998 Camry work fine on one side, but stop flashing after five flashes on the other side. Does a Camry possibly have two flash units? If not, what could cause this?

Hi mjmart,

Thank you for the donation.

Only one flasher unit is used and possible causes for the symptoms are :

1. Failing flasher unit. Though it might work on one side, minor differences in resistance between left and right side would result in the coondition.

2. Improper bulbs used. If any bulbs were replaced prior to this occurring, recheck the bulb specifications.

3. Check wireharness and bulb sockets for looseness or contaminations.

4. Check all ground circuit at the taillights and behind the front headlights.

Turn hazard lights on and note if there are any difference between the right and left side brightness. This might give you a clue to the bulbs specifications and wire connections.

Recheck the battery connection/test all the fusible links/fuses and also check if your brake lites are working-

Won't go in gear could be a problem with the shift interlock system-use the override refer to owners manual.

I have a 1999 toyota camry and my turn signals and hazards lights do not work. The turn signals do not even light up on my dashboard. Every other signal works though. Any suggestion/help would be wonderful.

I checked the fuses and they seem to be fine.

Check all fuses with a test light. The turn signal switch may have failed

The left turn signal on my '99 Camry (81,000 miles) has started to blink rapidly. The right one still blinks at the normal speed. I have been told that this may indicate a burned out light, but this does not appear to be the case as both the front and rear turn signals flash.

Another option is that the flasher is going bad. If it is the flasher, where is this located and where is the fuse panel?

Thanks for the help,
Dan

Hi there,

Did you check the indicator on the side of the front mud guard? If that's OK problem could be in flasher can.

Hi there I wrote to you guys last week, and you almost solved my problem ! I have a 2002 Toyota Camry Le and the left turn signal indicator light flashes extremely fast and the right signal flashes normal, you told me to check the bulb, so I replaced the bulbs and even replaced the Turn signal flasher relay, but the indicator light still flashes fast? What do you think is the problem, the turn signal flasher is new, and so are the bulbs, please help me find this problem, it is driving us crazy.

Hi there,

just check that all the globes are the same wattage and that the guard mounted (on side) if fitted indicators are working as well, the problem will be on the side that is flashing faster.

You will have to check the globe holders for corrosion and poor contact on the side that was flashing faster,
