Default Blinker, blinks fast???????

the passenger side turn signal blinks really fast. i first thought one of the bulbs was out. nope, all of them work, front and back. what else could be the problem?

thanks,
chan :cheers:

I'm thinking wrong bulb/burned out bulb or poor connection in the socket, or a bad contact inside the turn signal switch. Could also be a poor ground. Good luck :cheers:

Whip,
Are you sure the blinker is actually blinking fast, or is it just the "sound" of your blinker from inside the car? The C5s have a "fast blinking" sound if the blinker is on for too long. Mine, 2001 Z-06, will also make the "fast blinking" sound if i just hold the turn signal down for a few seconds (without actually pushing it all the way to "click" the turn signal stalk).

Jeff, i think u have taken up comedy :) thats a good one. the back turn signals blink really fast. the front blinks slow, and on the inside u can see the first blink, then u cant see it anymore?

Chan,
That doesn't sound right man. If you checked all the bulbs and all the fuses, then i have no idea.

Usually a fast blinking turn signal is just the wrong bulb was installed. Have you changed any out recently or did someone else?
