'03 Expy Turn Signals

I have been having problems the past couple of days with my left turn signal. It blinks twice as fast as normal, and its only the left one. The right one has not changed a bit. I'm thinking fuse maybe but my VERY limited knowledge tells me there is one fuse for both signals. If someone could please shed some light on this, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Z

That's probably a bulb issue. Make sure you check to see if the one under the mirror is working as well as the front and rear.

My Expy doesn't have one under the side mirror and the back one is blinking just as fast. Even the light on the dash is blinking faster than normal.

I had the same problem on my wifes camry not long ago. I took the bulbs out and put em back in. That fixed it, but its doing it again. I thinking one of the bulbs is on its way out or there is a bit of corrosion on the contacts someplace. Pull your bulbs and check there first.

If you didn't have one out, I was going to suggest the bulb roulette option. It is a bulb related issue so as Jeff has pointed out just a little wiggle here or there might fix it. Drop $5 on bulbs and switch both front and back on that side. It will cost a little more if you don't have torx bits becuase you need them to get the back light assembly off.

Awesome guys, thanks so much. I'll give it a try this weekend and post on here how it goes. Maybe I'll try to post a video on what it looks like.

You mean a video of changing light bulbs? If you could get a shot of grass growing in the background that would be cool too.

I joke, I joke.

Lol, no chief, I meant a video of the problem. I knew I should have corrected myself on that.

The left turn signal is fine now and everything is back to normal. I didn't even do anything to fix it. I appreciate the suggestions and I'll keep them in mind if this happens again.

I guess depending on who is changing the bulb and what she is wearing it could be made interesting.

Haha well played sir, well played. Too bad there's none that would make it interesting where I'm at. They've all gone off to college.
