i'm new here, but i did a quick search on turn signals and all i got was about amplifier so i figured just posting this question:

has anybody experienced their turn signals blinking faster? i changed my front turn signals of my tc to blue LEDs and now when i turn my turn signal on either left or right, they blink faster than usual, if the hazard button is pressed tho, the signals just blink regularly. you think its the LEDs i installed? i also installed a couple of subs and amplifiers, but i don't that did anything to the turn signals.

thanks in advanced for any replies.

 

Fast blinking is usually a sign that one of the turn signal bulbs is burned out and too much juice is driving the blinker.
Check your bulbs.
It could also be a broken blinker unit which I think will sit within the fuse panel.

Yes - its the LEDs - they have a lower resistance. It can also signal that a light is out, but in your case, its the LEDs

 

that's what i figured, i will put back the stock bulb and see what happens...thanks

 

i had a 6x normal speed blinker on my old corolla. it annoyed everyone who was inside the car because of the clicking. i thought it was rad

 

i thought it was kinda cool too, but i thought i messed up some circuit or something. does the fast blinking hurt anything in the car at all?

 

Your blinker fluid might be low

 

^^was that funny to anyone?

 

^^^Eh it got a chuckle.

 

I only mentioned it because no one else had mentioned it yet, I know your blinker fluid wouldn't be low, your lights are flashing faster than normal, that means there is too much fluid.

 

no.

 

hysterical....

now go get a 5 gal. bucket of steam to clean it with.
