question about my blinkers

chief_mijo · September 4th, 2010, 09:38 PM

before i replace my taillights with LED's on my right site blinked really fast.
now my left one does that too.

any suggestions on what this could be?

The led's could make the left one speed up. I dont know why your right one goes fast. Are you talking about the blinkers themselves or the light on your gauage cluster?

Really come on. I have no clue what you just said. Use your grammar skills.

chief_mijo · September 5th, 2010, 12:24 AM

ok sorry for the miss understanding

the arrows on the cluster and the bulbs in my taillights blink really fast

v6kid · September 5th, 2010, 12:27 AM

This is after you installed the LED's?

Are the rest of your blinker bulbs functioning? If one of your taillight bulbs or front blinkers is out it will make them blink fast. Check that first.

chief_mijo · September 5th, 2010, 04:10 AM

i did check all the bulbs the front ones should be at least 6 months old when my gf had the ricy pojector headlights put in. and all the tailight bulbs have been replaced also

Check to see if there is any corrosion or burn marks in the sockets.

chief_mijo · September 5th, 2010, 04:32 AM

ok ill check in the morning.

if there was any corrosion or burn marks in the sockets what would i have to do to fix that?

v6kid · September 5th, 2010, 04:34 AM

You could try to scrape off the contacts with a small flat head screwdriver or a wire brush. If corrosion or burns is the case, then you will want to get some dielectric grease from the auto store and put some in the socket before reinserting the light bulbs.

If this all started when the new lights went in it could just be the fact that the led's or new blinkers draw less current than the original blinkers did, so your car thinks one is out. That would speed up the blinker light on the inside at least.
