Hi All,

I have a Honda Civic LX 97. Started from this morning, the flashing frequency of the rear turn right light is abnormal, it is more frequent than the turn right light as well as the ticking sounds. Anyone has idea on this? Is something broken?


Thanks,

Pretty cheap but I think there is a seperate flasher control for left and right signals. Replace the failing side.[/url]

Hi Bruce,

Do you happen to know where is the flasher control?? Is it accessible without lifting up the car?


Thanks,

Simple way to find it is to turn on the 4 way flasher and follow the sound. Usually near the fuse box.

Replace the failing turn-signal flasher for the affected side. Turn on the hazard flashers and follow the clicking sound; it is usually near the fuse box and does not require lifting the car.
