After replacing rear taillight assembly, signals and emergency flashers, are blinking fast. All bulbs were checked, no LED's. Bulbs were installed, with a little bulb grease. No relay, in either fuse box. Under the dash?

I also unplugged the emergency flasher, in the dash. Turned on the key, and no turn signal. This would be an easy fix, to replace. I understand, that they have separate power supplies.

Hi,

The power supply for the flashers and signals is from the same point. Also, they share the same flasher relay. I attached a pic below for you to see.

Now, was there a bulb that was bad prior to this issue? Also, are you certain that all bulbs are working? For the system to flash double-time requires an open in the circuit.

Double check that and let me know what you find.

Take care,
Joe

Okay. Must be one of the bulbs, or the sockets. I got a good deal, on E-Bay, Thought I checked them well. Going to replace the front tomorrow. Think I will hook them up first, then take a good look at the back. I have plenty of bulbs, might be trial and error. Thank you for your help. Old blue might get by cheap! God bless you!

Hi,

If you have a chance, let me know what you find. Also, interestingly, I have an old blue as well. LOL One other thought, I had a customer the other day with the light flashing fast. He told me that he checked all lights and they all worked. He missed a bulb that works in parallel with another working one. That was the problem. It's just a thought.

Take care,
Joe
