turn signal

98 Explorer 116,000 XLT 4.0 V6 OHV
LH turn signal cycles real fast, RH cycles normal
replaced multi-function switch at the steering column, also wanted to look at bulb up front but was stymied on how to extract. How do you change the bulbs up front. Any ideas on my rapid heart rate LH turn signal?

when it flashes real fast that means either your front left or rear left turn signal bulb is burned out.

There is a flap "door" under the hood at the front of the car, just above the headlights. You need to press in on a little lever and then the door flips open. From there you can reach your hand in to get to the connectors for the front lights. The headlights are a quarter turn to release, but I don't remember how the turn signals release.

If you can't find anything wrong with the bulbs, remove your multifunction switch again and make sure all of the pins are fully seated in the connectors.

Good luck.
