Red face Blinker problem

My left turn signal went into hyperblink mode out of now where. All bulbs are good in both tail lights. Any ideas to why this is? Its pretty annoying!

did you try replacing the bulbs, or did you just do a visual inspection?

If the it starts to blink super fast doesnt that mean that the bulb is going out?

Your cornering lights may have burned out if you had a 92-94 sc? That's what happen to my 92 sc.

dont see how the turn lamps would effect this...cause if they did, when I removed mine shouldnt my turn signals all gone hyper blink?

change your bulbs...visual inspections can lie to you..or at least use a multimeter and check them

yup...i did a visual inspection. turning lamps are good. ill go guy some bulb tomorrow. if it doesnt solve it then atleast i have new reliable bulbs right. My sc is a 93, so are you saying the entire assembly is dead? there is condensation inside...do you think it may be shorting something?

Do your parking lights and sidemarkers light up?

Did you recently change a blinker bulb? If so it could be the wrong voltage bulb.

Had a problem with my tails. Used the 194 instead of the 162 (both bulbs fit in the same spot) and even though all my tails worked the warning light stayed on because of the lower voltage that the 194s produce.

just try changing the bulbs from left side blinker to right side and see if it does the same thing on the opposite side..this will tell you for sure if the bulbs are the problem, it takes mabey 10 minutes, and its free
