A few days ago, I posted an issue of keyless entry stopped working for a
1996 I30. I still have not figured that out. At the mean time, I noticed
that left signal ticks about twice faster than it's supposed to be. Right
signal still works as before. Apparently, something in the electrical system
went wrong. Could someone give a clue or point to right direction how to
check?

Thanks.

Corolla.. the same issue occurred and it was that the actual front signal
light was out. When I replaced it the clicking went back to it's regular
ticking pace. Just posting in case it is something as simple as that and
not electrical. Fingers crossed for you.

C.H.

Check the left side turn signal bulbs.

I just went to my car and test the bulbs. Interestingly, now the turning
signal ticks at normal speed and signal bulbs are alright. I will keep an
eye on it when it happens again. Hopefully it is just a bulb issue.

Thanks for all helps.

Bulb where either the filiment recontacted reclosing the circuit or
a socket is going bad, that happend on my work truck (2002 Isuzu NPR
Boxtruck) Front passenger side socket was going bad, replaced the
socket and no more problems.

Burned out bulbs don't fix themselves, so it's not a burned out bulb.

Maybe a bad connection (loose bulb, corroded bulb socket, lose plug).

Actually it's very comon for the filiment to be broken and hitting a bump
can make the ends retouch and reconnect "fixing" the burned out bulb for a
short time.

Besides the other suggestions mentioned, it could be moisture in the

Depends on flasher type. Apart from squirrels, possibilities
- Lamp(s) blown, connector off; = less load with electronics flasher
- Short circuit (water in lamp assy?); = more load with old electromech bi-metal flasher

The fast clicking on the signal lights, usually means that there is a lamp
bunt out. I have also had a lamp have the contacts in to the socket become
oxidized a little, thus causing poor contact. Cleaning the contacts on both
the lamp, and in the socket, fixed things.
