Rapid Turn Signal Fix - Not The Bulb

[@joshuahynes8539]

Thanks pb man! Exactly my problem. Also nicely edited video, no no unnecessary time spent talking...

[@tongo117]

Glad to help.. Thanks for reply..

[@ChrisJohnson-lb8ul]

Thanks a million Peanut Butter Man, my old WRX was blinking right rapidly, it was driving me crazy. The 2011’s had tight wiring and connectors can be come partially unplugged apparently... so my car was in pieces and I was about to take it down to nuts and bolts chasing the rabbit down the hole. Then I came across your video. Cleaned the contacts and bingo, job done.... So glad I found your video! I am one of just a few drivers in Massachusetts using his blinkers because I am just so happy they work : ) Thanks Man!

[@tongo117]

You are welcome.. Thanks for reply..

[@richarddarn-s4d]

Thank You very much for taking time to post your video, it was indeeed corrosion on my 1997 Jetta, Take care!

[@tongo117]

Glad to have helped..

[@dekalogue]

That's what I needed. Blinking driver's side turn signal with all lights working. Looking forward to try.

[@charlesmartin7347]

Thanks for sharing this with me. Very helpful when you said corrosion I was like yes now this Man knows what he's talking about yes. Blessings and more Blessings

[@noahvillegas2440]

Thk god! Thks to this person Finally a video showing both/all lights working but still one. Blinking faster than the other one. That gives me a better i dea of what the issue might be with mine.

[@markkillingsworth6044]

Thanks for this post!! I had no idea what was causing my fast blinking after replacing all the lamps with new ones. It was driving me crazy.

[@ddemier]

Thumbs up for just getting to the point. Thankyou😊

[@ElizabethSmith-bu4sy]

You are the bomb dude ❤I love you so much ❤️

[@Seans-Garage]

Thanks a lot. This happened on my passenger side. The socket and bulb wasn't even that dirty, just a tad of corrosion and that was it. Cleaned both and fixed it.

[@tongo117]

Glad to help.. Thanks for reply..

[@TopGrandTour]

My headlight on drivers side will not turn on is their a wiring problem bc the other side works fine and switching them over too the drivers, they lights don’t turn on anymore? But my direction light stops blinking rapidly?

[@bobbybrown6646]

This is happening to me all headlights signal drivers side out in front. And turn signal blinking fast. Sante fe. Any luck? Ty

[@9_to_5_gaming65]

Great video - have a lexus as well that does this sometimes.

[@SonalBrito]

Thanks for the video, In my case all that was needed was to remove the bulb housing and put it back. Was about to buy the bulb and it started working when I put it together again!

[@tongo117]

thanks for sharing. i can now fix my turn signal

[@annrp9]

Thanks for making this video. Learned something new today. Thanks for your help 💛

[@markecgazda3880]

Hey there nice video!! I have a question today I have change my old turn light bulb and reason is because it was old and orange color on bulb fall from it so it was like regular light. I change it to new orange bulb, but here problems starts... Bulb is not working and, after changing bulb on that right side, all turn lights on right side are blinking very fast except on the front right light where I change bulb. What do you think could be the problem?? I also tried to change another bulb same problem

[@qualiacontrol]

Can you use white vinegar to get rid of the corrosion?

[@tongo117]

I've never trid it but apparently yes you can: www.chemtronics.com/how-do-you-clean-corroded-contacts#:~:text=It%20can%20be%20difficult%20to,cleaning%2C%20such%20as%20baking%20soda.

I was sure that would be the problem! Thanks a lot.

[@jackierobertson1528]

i am having that problem as well but my turn signal light is dim and blinking fast , all bulbs are good and all parts are clean, what else could it be?

[@zeussa2497]

What spray did you use? My signal is not working in the front back signal blinking fast

[@tongo117]

might just be a burned out bulb in the front.. have you replaced bulb with new?? or swap bulb with the same size bulb from other side light.. spray i used was from radio shack, no longer available.. this is basically the same: www.walmart.com/ip/CRC-QD-Electronic-Cleaner-11-Wt-Oz/16817418?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&wl13=605&gclsrc=aw.ds&adid=2222222227716817418_117755028669_12420145346&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=501107745824&wl4=pla-394283752452&wl5=9193272&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=local&wl12=16817418&veh=sem_LIA&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrp-3BhDgARIsAEWJ6SzsDWSH2c7Zzbjd-R97AM3KOgtPi_eD8nesAwbl8t7A9KYwR-A9oZsaAtlrEALw_wcB

[@Ryder408CH]

Man I've got a rapid turn signal, bulbs aren't burnt connections look good, no fuses are burnt out, and my turn signal and break light stopped working, quite confused rn

[@Infamous-cause]

Check your emergency/blinker relay?

[@Magotr1]

I had a similar situation but with my motorcycle…. i had just replaced the left turn signal bulb (two filament bulb, not LED) and it started blinking too fast, while all other bulbs were OK. I pulled out the new bulb again, turned it 180 degrees and installed it again. This time it worked just fine! Maybe it was a polarity issue 🤷‍♂️

[@BlueCarloz]

Pls tell me what spray you used

[@tongo117]

What I used is no longer available due to Radio Shack going out of business.. Any auto parts store would have electrical contact cleaner such as this: www.amazon.com/CRC-05103-Electronic-Cleaner-11/dp/B000BXOGNI/ref=dp_prsubs_1?pd_rd_i=B000BXOGNI&psc=1

[@alexvalenzuela9994]

I have an issue with my civic where the blinker light is illuminated but doesn’t blink need help thanks in advance

[@tongo117]

Check your hazard lights.. If they also light up but don't blink your hazard/flasher relay may be bad.. That relay is usually found in the fuse box located in the engine compartment.. Here's more info: www.autoblog.com/2016/01/19/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-hazard-turn-signal-flasher/

[@dwaynereuter9629]

Thanks!

[@prxy4luvvvtwice845]

i put in brand new headlight on driver side an when i used turn signal noticed the arrow itself was moving faster an louder. the headlight doesn’t show any turn light in the front but the rear does, would this be same issue ?

[@tongo117]

possibly yes, it's likely either the driver's side front turn signal bulb is bad, loose in the socket or there's corrosion at the terminals..

[@prxy4luvvvtwice845]

@@tongo117 lmao my dad just texted me right now as i was replying to u he was the one that did it lol, he said it probably just doesn’t have the bulb that we can take it from the old one that’s what we had to do for the headlight bulb

[@oilymelon]

gonna try this for my bulbs. Prolly a stupid question but does wd40 work like anti corrosion?

[@tongo117]

Some people say yes, some say no.. here's an example of no:www.goldwingfacts.com/threads/never-use-wd-40-for-electrical-connections.366596/

[@devinfernandez2572]

What part is the connection .Not the light bulb but the other one. I broke the connection while changing my headlights and now the new lightbulb can’t fit back in. So I need to replace the connection .

[@tongo117]

I would either take a picture of the part you need and go to a local dealership parts dept or check salvage yards..

[@4yp6aH8]

What could be the problem if the bulb is sometimes working and sometimes not?

[@claudiamendoza7578]

Thanks straight and to the point.

[@Blorkion64]

Wow! Perfect video man!

[@Requis0-0]

I got a dim fast blinking indicator and it’s pissing me off

[@stevenbolt831]

I dont know if it matters with signal bulbs, but i would also shy away from touching the actual bulb because of oils on your hand. Idont know if thats still a thing, but you can never be to careful

[@tongo117]

I think that's just for halogen bulbs cause they burn so hot.. Low wattage signal bulbs much cooler so not an issue.. But yeah, it's easy not to touch bulb during install so better safe than sorry..

[@ronnelgbm7545]

My taillights running bulb doesn’t work but when it break it still works, is it wiring problems or the bulb itself?

[@tongo117]

Bulb shown in video is a dual action 1157 bulb.. Two filaments inside glass and two contacts on bottom (base) of bulb.. If you have the same 1157 bulb one filament could be burned out and one still good.. So yes, your problem could just be the bulb..

[@luckyc336]

Last time i threw away a whole wiring harness and replaced it. Im gonna try this when i get home. Or else try to just replace the one socket

[@Uchiha]

So I have a Honda dc5 or in America it’s called the Acura rsx, what my one does is that when the key is plugged into the car the passenger side front and rear indicator starts ticking fast without me even turning any indicators on. Any idea what the issue could be?

[@tongo117]

A guess but, bad turn signal relay possibly?? Relay would be located in one of your fuse panels.. Most likely the one in the engine compartment..

I have six builds (3 on each side). If I remove one of the bulbs I gain a function like the right turn signal with headlights on. Any ideas?

I installed LEDS on my ‘06 civic and now both front and rear signals blinking rapidly. I was told a resistor kit was needed. I didn’t try spraying the contacts in the socket yet but I do have some WD-40 in the shed. Do you think I need a resistor kit or should I just try cleaning and spraying the WD-40?

[@tongo117]

The WD40 won't hurt, and I have no experience with LED bulbs, but the little research I did points to the need for resistors.. www.diodedynamics.com/led-resistor-kit-pair.html

[@rld1278]

I have a Honda CR-V doing this. I got it used so I don't know if they out in led or not.cam this be fixed by putting in regular bulbs?

[@markmunar8946]

@@rld1278 look at the bulb, if it’s an LED then it’ll blink fast because it’s drawing less power from the battery which is telling the car that the bulb’s out. Hence why it blinks fast. LED or not, try changing the bulb and see if it’s blown or not. Hope that helped!
