The left turn signal flashes rapidly on the dash when i turn it on, the right side works perfectly, I changed the bulb in the front left and it still doesnt light up. Any help would be great.

U need blinker fluid my good man. Or maybe the flasher relay?

Are you sure both bulbs are working (front and rear) I know you said you changed "the bulb" but what about the other one. A bulb being out will cause the exact same thing you are saying. I don't think its the flasher since you are saying its flashing fast, that means its working. it just sounds like you have a bulb out. When you turn the signal on does the front or the rear light up at all? remember the rear has two terminals so that means if you have it backwards that one side will look like your brake light is on all the time when you just turn on the lights. That may cause it also because then the flash will be very low like just the lights being on


Edit: don't go looking for any "blinker fluid" there is no such a thing

check the rear bulb

The rear signal is working, when i turn it on I can see it flashing, but faster than the other side. Like i said i changed the left front bulb and it is not lighting up at all. What else can I check?

are you sure the bulb you changed it with was good? Just checking because I have seen people change theirs or think they changed it and when they took the old one out they laid it on the ground next to the new one or wherever and went and did something and picked up the old one again and put it back in there. Just asking, if this isn't it then you probably need to check the wires and see if there is anything shorting out to that front signal

yea the bulb i used was new, also the one i took out it didnt appear as if there was anything wrong with it either. Im guessing i should start tracing from the socket go back to see if there is a shortage somewhere? Or is there anything else I should look at?

if you have a test light you can see if its getting juice, if its not then there has to be something unhooked somewhere. Not sure where they plug into the harness but if you aren't getting juice to the bulb plug I would go back to where it hooks to the harnes and see iuf you get juice there, if so check the wire from the harness to the plug and see if you see any breaks or anything else that would cause a short in the wire. It can be time consuming tracing a broken wire but thats all I can think of that would be causing your problem. Its either a broken wire or a ground somewhere but I would look for the broken wire first

I asked my friend if he had changed his recently a while back and he started freaking out
