My 1999 Ford Contour's Back-Right Turn Signal has stopped working, the right-front clicks at twice the normal speed, what is wrong?

The right-front light started clicking at twice the normal speed before the back-right light stopped working, and this happened before, stopped, then started happening again, and the back-right signal stopped recently, I am not sure how long this has been the case.

Check the left side of the vehicle for a blown bulb or incorrect bulb in one of the sockets. The fast flash is a signal to tell you something is wrong with that side

not a fuse
if it were the right rear park lamp would also be out

your bulbs actually have two filaments inside
first make sure you have the right bulb
second check for power on the orange/green wire

Check the wires to the plug. You can remove the plug by pressing on the wire clip and pulling apart. Check the terminals for corrosion and clean them if corroded/rusty, then assemble. Remove the bulb and check corrosion on the bulb contacts in the bulb socket and reassemble. Turn the lights on and try wiggling the wires and ttwisting the bulb slightly to check contact, while the bulb receptacle is out of the brake light. If the light comes back on when you have done these things then this may have been the problem. Try using a dielectric grease on the wiring connections and in the socket of the bulb to alleviate any more issues.(I have a contour also so this was the problem with mine) Wayne

SOURCE: 1998 Contour turn signal problem

Check the plugs on the back lights. There must be a bad ground. Remove the light from the socket in the rear light, then depress the metal wire that holds the plug onto the light receptacle. Clean the contacts and ensure they are free from corrosion and rust. Try putting some dieelectric grease on the contacts. NOTE: The center wire BLACK is ground, and you could splice a wire from it to the metal of the car via one of the screws, on both sides, if after cleaning both sides they still dont work.

Brake light and right turn signal come on at same time

You put in the wrong bulb and it's feeding back.

97 ford contour has green blinking light on dashboard bottom right about same speed as turn signal-slao load beeping sound pulsates and wont stop unless i shut off radio-help green light reads either o/o...

All I can tell you is that the green light indicates your overdrive. It usually only lights up when it is turned off. There should be a green button on your shifter right under the button you press in to shift (say, from park to drive).
