rapid right turn signal indicator??
I am getting a rapid right turn signal indicator. I also noticed the right front bulb is not flashing. The back bulb is fine. Am I getting the rapid inidcator because the bulb is out?
I don't want to replace the bulb unless I know for sure it's the culprit. In the past, I've associated the rapid indicator with a blown fuse, but I checked the fuses and they looked ok. Any thoughts? Thanks, Bill

Turn on the headlights and back off one position to kill the lights.
Unscrew the 3 small screws on the black plastic housing around the headlight. Gently pull the housing clear. Reach down around the headlight unit and release the bulb holder. It unscrews counter clockwise but it has a plastic clip which you need to squeeze to release it. Change the bulb. Reseat the bulb holder and turn until it clicks back in place. Put the plastic housing back in place making sure to locate the small plastic tab in the bracket on the headlamp cover. Replace the 3 screws and close the lights.
10 minute job.
