The left turn signal blinks real fast. The right turn signal blinks normal. I have changed both signal light bulbs(front and back) and I have changed the circuit board. All other lights work properly as far as I can see. This has me puzzled? I can hear the flasher come on when signal is turned on. Front and rear signal blink at same time when powered on. What can cause this?

Hello, I am Danny.

Quick question. Have you by chance converted any bulbs to LED?
Thanks for using 2CarPros.

I have changed front and rear signal bulb and the circuit board. I can hear the flasher come on when signal is turned on. What can be doing this? Both sides of signal lights blink together when turned on.

You are losing a ground or power somewhere. Here are the blinker wiring diagrams so you can test each circuit using the guide from above that Danny provided. Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
