Right turn signal flashes fast. Front bulb appears to be burned

How do I get at the right front signal light bulb. I cannot find a way to reach up from underneath or down from the top to get the bulb out. Does the lens snap off from outside?
Thank you for your assistance.

    There are no bolts through the lens. And there does not appear to be enough room from behind to remove the bulb. Cannot get a hand near the light.

    Sorry for the bad score but it is exactly what you earned. THERE ARE NO SCEWS THROUGH THE LENS.I found out from another source that you have to remove the headlamp assembly and then it is easy to get at the signal bulb. I have replaced the bulb. I am sorry you had to be sarcastic with your reply and I hope you will learn that sarcasm gets you nowhere and usualy backfires as it did this time.

    I suspect you are not a qualified auto technician.

    I suggest you do not give advise until you learn more about automobiles and courtesy.

There are 2 bolts on the top corners of the bulb lens that needs to be removed then the lens pops right out and you can change the bulb.

I can reach up from underneath, I had to pull on the plastic a little to get my arm up in there on the far right side below the bumper, then unscrew the bulb fixtur a 1/4 turn ccw and the bulb and wire will pull out and drop down so you can replace the bulb then stick your arm back up and put the bulb fixture back in by turning it 1/4 turn cw

Get the left signal to flash fast then walk around the car to see which light isn't flashing then change the bulb or socket if they all appear to be flashing (front and rear) turn on the right turn signal then look into the front and rear lens and count the number of bulbs flashing, now do the same thing on the left. Many times there's more than 1 bulb in each lamp. I hope this helps. Take care.

1997 Dodge Neon left signal lights work great. Right side blinks very fast.

Has the car been in a fender bender ? check for wiring going to the front and rear lights to see if on has rubbed into a ground wire or the body. ( even if there has been no accident.)

Right turn signal lights flash very fast

check to see if the front or rear bulb is burned out most of the time one bulb burns out causing a faster flash on that side.

Left blinker flash fast, hit brake left blinker goes out left taillight goes out but both backup lights come on

Usually a fast flashing signal is because one of the bulbs is burned out or shorted out. If the signal and brakes use the same light which many cars do then check the wiring to it and replace bulb. If burns out again then it has a short between the signal switch and the actual light or the brake wiring to it is shorted.

Signal light blinking too fast

I just had that problem with my jeep cherokee and either your bulb has burned out or it is burning out. Time to replace it. Turn the signal light lever on the side that's flashing fast, get out of the vehicle and look at the front and back signal lights and replace the one that isn't blinking...hope this helps.
