Turn Signal Malfunction (S13)

[240ez]

I checked the bulbs (1156/1157) three times and even went down to Autozone.

My right turn signal still flickers fast. While the left turn signal flashes at the normal speed.

They say its the wiring. Fuses are all fresh. If it's wiring, what should I be looking for that will solve this little issue?

My 240sx's right winker does the same thing occasionally. I don't worry about it. Usually it means a dead bulb or a dying one.. but if you've replaced it or tested them then I'm not sure. :P

usually its because your bulbs is out, besides that, you got something funny going on here. you can usually make it blink fast, where you put them ricer led blinkers on, due to the load that the led uses, so you could have a voltage problem...

@ S. Nation, yeah I, actually did make both lights blink faster buy switching "3496's" in the front and leaving the "1156's" in the rear. The result was both my turn signals flickering fast. But for this, I'll check out the grounds, S.M.J's, fuses, and relays again.

Just being picky but soon, I'm switching all my lights to L.E.D anyway.

Alright fellas, I checked out my wiring for the turn signals. As I stated before the bulbs and fuses are in

good condition.

Turns out that the left (the malfunctioning one), has a wired sticking out.

These are 3 prong connections. So i looked at my right one and saw the

obvious difference. One of the male disconnects(which is the one wired to the

"black" wire <ground wire>, in the plug housing, was pushed out slightly

So i pushed it back in and secured it with the grommets. Plugged them up and they work normally :)

i have the same issue in my '90. (among other electical sh*ts)

where do you make the fix?

[240ez]

well in the plug housing there 3 pins. Check them. Make sure all 3 are firm.
If they wiggle, or are easy to push in or out, re-pin them. Use a flat head small enough to push them back in and tuck in the rubber grommets (assuming you got some left). That should do the trick.

[EmericanA]

ill try that.

good lookin out

[240ez]

No prob bro.

my car used to do the fast blinker with both, then i replaced my head, and only my right one flickered..then i charged my battery after it died and then neither of them blinked fast, they both went back to normal speeds. haha

Did you check your blinker fluid levels?
