Fast turn signal

Hello My fellow Porsche owners,

I have a fast left turn signal and the front light works but does not blink.

I have a new bulb and relay installed.

Can anyone think of something else.

Thanks

Usually one of the bulbs is out when it blinks quickly. Either front or back.

Be certain you have the proper bulb in there. Sounds silly, but I have seen a 2 filament bulb in a single filament socket, and vice-versa. Can make all kinds of weird things happen.

If you have replaced the bulbs, check the thin wires in the head light buckets for corrosion or connectivity..

happens every time i pull out the head light.

Check that your bulbs are not low-wattage. The circuit will not work with the low wattage bulbs because the coil needs a minimum current to operate properly.

Do search, but I think low wattage are 15watts and you need 21 watt bulbs.

Also, you should specify your vehicle and year in your signature, or in your post. If you have a 1977 Lada my advice should be ignored.
