Unhappy Turn signal light problem

Hey guys. I have a big problem with my driver side turn signal. It flashes extremely fast compared to the passenger side. Also the rear driver side turn signal, doesn't work at all, even when i turn the alarm on and off, it doesn't work. Are these problems linked somehow?? They both happened at the same time. Let me know what i could/should do, or any suggestions.

Thanks,

Filipe

the blown bulb is your problem.... it burned out, and that causes the whole resistance in the circuit to change and that's why it blinks so fast now

Agreed--check the front and rear driver's side turn signal bulbs. Either one or the other is blown. Change it and it'll be back to normal.

For future reference, anytime you use the turn signal, and it flashes much faster than normal, it's a sign that a turn signal bulb is blown. The side that the blinker flashes faster is the side that the bulb is blown.
