One day on my way to work, I go to use my RIGHT turn signal and I noticed it was blinking fairly quickly. LEFT turn signal works fine, normal speed nothing wrong. What could be going bad/wrong with this and is it expensive to fix? Upon researching, it seems like theres been problems with turn signals getting mixed up. This is NOT the case.

A little context would be I've been doing more city driving (due to new job) than ever since I got my truck in 2010. Not to mention single digit weather here in Central NY. I doubt either of these are the reason why this happened, but I haven't a clue. Thanks for any help.

 

Fast blinking usually indicates a bulb is burned out on that side. Shouldn't be anything huge to worry about.

Hopefully its your rear blinker/tail light bulb. The front is not hard to change, but a bit more of a pain.

 

Thanks for the info!
I'll have to check which one it is before work tomorrow. Appreciate the help.

 

Turn your blinker on and walk around the truck to see if they are all working.

 

I did before work today. Its the rear bulb.

I got another problem (on top of being summoned for jury duty). My tire pressure light came back on. I had a problem with it a few years back. Ugh. I hate the cold weather.

 

Jury Duty isn't a problem! It is an honour! Ask the people in countries that don't have a choice and have to show up in front of the military tribunal.

If you want to get out of it, when they call your name, smile wickedly and ask "is this a Capital Offense?"



Oh, and you are probably down a few psi on your tires. Cold weather does that.

 

Yup, cold weather turned my sensor on too. Added a bit of air to the tires (but not too much... keep in mind it will expand up a bit when it gets warm again) and the light went away.

The rear blinker is the easy one to change. One screw on the inside, and basically pull straight back on the housing.

 

TWO screws! And pull STRAIGHT out! Any off-line movement with break the insert that is on the lens. Although one broken pin won't make the lens useless.

 

Thanks for the help! Looks like I get to do my first fix on my truck. Seems very simple and a cheap fix. Hopefully I dont break anything

 

Just make sure you have p\lenty of duct tape and super glue....
