Hello,

I drive a 00 Vert with 54,000 miles that I bought a year ago and like very much.

Recently flashers started acting strangely. Driver side flashes at standard pace but Passanger side flashes very quickly, coincidentally Daytime Running Light on Passanger side does not work. Also 4-Way Flashers work seem to work then not work. When 4-Way Flashers do work, Daytime Running Light on Passanger Side does not work.

I recall seeing similar messages posted here and was wondering if anyone can help with a solution.

Any help is appreciated.

Beautiful day here in Reading, PA, am about to put down and cruise but am concerned about this flasher/day time running light problem.

they flash fast when a bulb is burned out,check your bulbs

 

The daytime running lights are the turn signal filaments. Your passengar side turn signal filament is bad. Turn signals flashing fast show that a bulb is burnt out (less electrical resistance causing faster flashing).

Bulb can be changed by jacking up that side and removing access panel under car (4 or 5 screws), moving brake cooling duct slightly, reaching up and squeezing and turning the bulb socket.

Some people, raise headlights, remove bezel, and reach down to remove bulb.

Good luck.

 

You'll get three suggestions

Go in through the brake ducts - not easy with a Z06 or if you have screens

Go in through the bottom by taking out the bottom panel



The one that works for me is:

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 comes out by turning the bulb holder a ¼ turn counter clockwise but it has a plastic clip which you need to squeeze to release it. Here’s how the bulb fits into the lamp unit. The DRL bulb is the lower of the two.



Here’s the light socket. This one’s after market but it gives you the idea. You can see the clip you need to squeeze.



Change the bulb. It’s a push fit into the lamp holder. Push it home firmly but don’t handle the glass. Use latex gloves if you have them. Reseat the bulb holder and turn clockwise until it clicks back in place. Put the plastic headlight 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.

It’s a 10 minute job. Some guys have had the lights close if they’ve taken a while to do the fix. If you’re worried about that, disconnect the battery once the lights are up.

The bulb is a 4157NA

Some guys with big arms remove the hood adjusting screw for better access. Guys with even bigger arms have had to take off the headlight cover. Four torx screws (2 back, 1 each side). Take the back ones off first with the lamps down. Raise the lights and take the side ones out.

 

I have almost same issue. My drivers drl was out, left blinker flashed fast. Then drl worked, still flashed fast. I replaced left bulb with 4157nak, still flash fast. Both rear lights work on turn, brake, and running. Any idea's???

 

Bet if you change the burned out bulb, things would return to normal.

 

All of my bulbs light up. Not sure what else to look for.
