Blinker issue

Not sure if this is the right place for this, if it's not, just let me know and I'll make a new thread somewhere else.

I just noticed this about 15 minutes ago while driving. My right blinker is blinking abnormally fast and when I checked it out, I noticed that the rear isn't even blinking. The left blinks perfectly normal. If it makes a difference, I drive a 2.4l with stock headlights. No aftermarket parts.

I'm bringing my car to the shop on Saturday for a cel so I'll have them look at this also. But does anybody have any input? Is it a fuse or something? Any help is appreciated.

-Sam

That's called having "having a light out". Happens once in a while. It usually means you're low on blinker fluid.

Looks like this:

Alright, I thought the fast blinking meant something more serious. Clearly I don't know **** about that kind of thing. Haha

Thanks

Lol nah bro, you just have a filament out in your tail light. The lights are designed to hyper-blink if one of them is out. No biggie, dealership will warranty it.

He's screwing with you lol. You're rear bulb is burnt out. Replace it and your blinkers will go back to blinking normally.

You sure they'll warranty a bulb? I assumed they'd be considered "wear and tear." Besides it isn't worth the hassle to take it to the dealer just so they can replace a bulb that costs a few bucks at most.

Yeah, they warrantied mine. And he said he was taking it to the dealer anyway so he might as well save himself the money. Lol.

Haha, ****. This thread is retarded. Shouldn't have bothered, really. Yes, I know my light's out now, that's why the blinker was hyper-blinking. This is the **** I don't know about and of course that's what goes wrong. lol. I don't know **** about lights, wiring, even bulbs... all that crap. haha

Thanks for the help and the embarrassment, guys

Oh you know what I meant. I was coming off a nap when I typed that and I was in the middle of a few sentences at once. He got the gist of it.
