have any of you had it where your turn signals started clicking at a very fast rate of speed. Well my right hand turn signal is ticking like its on steroids any way to fix it without taking it to a dealer?

Coblasts

One of your signal bulbs being burnt out is usually the cause !

wombat

turn your signal on.

get out of the car.

walk to the front to make sure that one is blinking.

walk to the back to make sure that one is blinking.

replace the one that's not blinking.

grab a seat and open a beer.

Im not sure, but do we even have flashers? The clicking sound is digital. (05,06 from speaker in gauges, 07^ is from OEM headunit)

my right signal just started doing that a few days ago too. i figured out the light was out but i was gonna post this same question because i wanted to make sure nothing else is wrong too

Burnt bulb. Circle check!

Vetteman99

both bulbs are working fine now and there is no more speed clicking. So whale going on I didn't change the bulbs yet?

lol im already so used to it i dont know what its like to have flashers that aren't crazy fast... i have led amber bulbs up front and im not shelling out the cash for a resistor to fix it

You can get four resistors for like 20 bucs if you feel like fixing it. I couldn't stand the fast blinking.

i had the same problem too bud. it was my rear right taillight. it works but sometimes it didnt and it clicked really fast when i hit the turn signal. it was a connection issue. i got a zip tie and and tightened the hell out of the harness that comes off the tail light

ya i know i really could care less now thou. lol at first i didnt like it and was gonna change it but after being lazy for a few months its normal to me now

Fast clicking = rear bulb
solid light = front bulb

Vetteman99

thanks i want the led lights now but where do i put the resistors

You tap into the wire that would normally go to the bulb, I forget the colors at the moment, but in the front you wire it up to the signal wire (not the parking light wire) and a ground, and the rear goes on the brake light wire and ground. I got off lucky with my lights, cause my tail lights cam prewired with a little resistor box, so I only had to put these things on my front signals.

By the way, Cobalts only get a fast clicking if a bulb is out. The solid light thing was common on older cars that still used thermal flashers. My Sunbird did this until I replaced the flasher with a non-thermal one.
