When I use the right turn signal the light in the dash as well as the exterior turn signal lights on the outside blink fast. The owners manual suggests a bulb is burnt out however both the front and rear turn signal lights appear to be lit and blinking. Any suggestions?

might b the swicth...usually its a bulb but the switch does go bad ....

Are you referring to the switch in the steering colum?

Could also be a bad relay.........

Correct.

If the turn signal flashes fast you should first see if a bulb is burnt out. If none of them are burnt out then your relay needs to be replaced. Now as to where the turn signal relay is on a GS, I have no idea, but I do know they are usually very cheap and easy to replace.

well i hope its just a relay so it should't b so expensive 4 u....a switch might b expensive if it was that...good luck

Thanks to all of you for your prompt replys. I should be able to figure it out.

your car thinks one of the bulbs is out just hope that your left one breaks too so you can say its a new mod

Is this problem only present on one side? If everything blinks normally on the other side, then it can't be a flasher relay unless you have one relay for each side (which I doubt).

Do you have any indications that a bulb is out? If NOT, then this is very strange indeed.

Please let us know what you find out.

As far as I can tell the bulbs light both fron and back. Unless there is more than one bulb for the front end.

GSEREP1...there may be as many as 3 relays for flashing...one right, one left and one for hazzards!!

Most cars have at least two relays... one for each side... then some use a seperate relay for hazards as well. (I see Letsride already beat me to the punch)

I know you got a GS...but there's a TSB for the ES for this same issue.
