Default Crazy blinker

Passenger blinker is in stupid fast mode. One would typically assume there was a bulb out... Nope. All bulbs are working. It blinks fast most of the time but sometimes works like it should. Any suggestions as to why it's part time cracked out? -99 SLT PLUS

Are you sure both bulbs on the front are working? Sometimes people miss the 2nd bulb on the front. If not you might have a bad flasher.

What about a led bulb? I have them only in rear and they flash fast, left over from original owner. Not broke don't fix.

That's possible, it's in spaz mode part time though, only passenger side.

I don't know if this will help, but I found this.....

After I installed LED tail lights my front signals are blinking fast. What do I do?

Your front and rear signals are connected, so when you have a problem with one you will have a problem with the other. A fast blinking signal usually points to too much wattage going through the system. This can be caused by three different situations: 1) a dead bulb in the front or the rear, 2) the appropriate plug on the LED taillight being plugged in upside down, or 3) the resistor box not being connected or malfunctioning.

Dead bulbs can be examined by eye for blowouts. If one of the wires is broken and/or you see a burnt part of the bulb, then it is probably dead. For the LED plugs, this would only be the case if they were ALWAYS blinking fast. To remedy that situation, just unplug and replug the bulb in the opposite orientation. For a defective resistor box, check the connection. Worst case, try the resistor box from the other side to isolate the problem.

If you do have a small short or an led bulb you can replace the flasher with a model EP27 from advance auto ($17) and it should make it flash normal. Although if you do indeed have a short you should still find and fix it.
