One Blinker fast, One slow

would this be a problem with the relay? or is this a signal to let me know the bulb is wrong? (I've seen that be the case with other vehicles)
If its the relay, where is it located, and what needs to be done?

You probably have a burned out bulb on the side where it blinks fast. :biggrin:

You don't have to believe me, but most of these models have a "Burned out Bulb indicator" feature in the flashing unit. Check ALL of your turn signal bulbs front and rear to make sure your bulbs all work. :banghead:

yep. one of the rear bulbs. I knew I could see it blinking in back, but didnt realize there was more then one bulb for it. Thanks! The intelligent thing to do would have been to look before I asked! :)

Well believe it or not.....I have the same problem of one blinks faster than the other on my 1999 blazer LS 4-Dr 4WD.

Seems that my right turn signal, when changing lanes is faster...why because I suspect that my lever is worn and it's not engaging my right tail light....but (drum roll plz)....

IF I push slightly forward into the dash, it magically engages the turn bulb, AND blinker slows down. i.e. drawing the normal current on the circuit.

It's a pain in the ass, but I live with it cause I don't want to spend an arm and a leg to get it repaired for something I can manage to get around.

Josh try this and let me know if it works...but know that you are not crazy as I have the same darn thing...

I should have looked first. I had a bulb out in the rear. But thanks!
