Maybe your blinker fluid is low!

Compare both sides. The first time I had a front corner lamp go out, I didn't really know what was out because I didn't know there were two bulbs in the corner lamp. The 2nd bulb made me think it was still good. If you closely compare both sides, I think you'll spot the difference. If you have thin arms, you can reach the bulbs thru the hole for the brake duct. Push the brake duct down and towards the center of the car, and you'll be able to reach both corner bulbs.

FWIW, I believe if the fuse it out, or removed, the blinker wouldn't blink fast, and the car won't throw error codes. I might have to try this out to confirm it, but lots of people pull the daytime running light fuse.

It's the bulb

Your turn signal bulb in the front has 2 lighting filiments. This bulb has one filiment for the parking light, and a second for the turn signal


If you have your lights on, and your turn signal on... the entire light does Not blink on and off. The park light is still on.
