Weird Turn Signal Problem
When I use my left turn signal, it blinks quickly like the bulb is out.
When I use my right turn signal, it blinks normally. The problem is, I have no bulbs out. (Though my right-front side marker is out. Ideas?

Anyone happen to have the part number for the warning buzzer relay? (The Porsche PET is down right now.)

Make sure both bulbs are the same part number from side to side. Different bulbs have different resistance (ohms).

if the bulbs are the same and u have that problemw with a good relay i would make sure the bulbs are clean along with the contacts inside the lens. My moms caddy had that problem because water got in and corroded the contacts. I cleaned out the thing and it worked great. Hopefully its that easy for you. Goodluck!
not sure about the part number, i dont see warning buzzer relay or anything similar in pelican. I'd check my car right now but its 130 in the morning and across town waiting for a seal to come in....tomorrow if its not here il get it for ya by evening time. I tried a yahoo search but cant find it either...

I remember reading Blink rate was often linked to bad Ground Contacts in bulb area.
