SOURCE: Rear right turn signal acts as a running light.

Make sure and replace the lamp with the exact same one as the working side. Sounds like their is a mismatch in the lamps of some sort.
If one of the filliments is burnt out this will happen. Just like in car blinkers. Or it will blink fast. Hope this helps.. Happy Holidays. Jay

SOURCE: my left turn signal on

Is it the front or rear? Check the other left turn signal..if one bulb is burned out, the other will stay on constant. If that's not the problem, it could be the turn signal relay, usually mounted on the fuse panel.

sounds like a poor ground issue, pull out the headlight and check all connections in there, your turn signals are on seperate feeds than the lights but they will probably share the same ground/earth in the headlight

you may want to trace your wires to that light and check to make sure that your ground wire for that side is clean and tight that may take care of your problem all together

SOURCE: My right turn signal blinks really fast & the

One light is brighter because the turn signal light wire is switched with the running light wire. The wires are color coded should be an easy fix. As for the fast blink, if you have put led lights on the signals you will have to also add a diodes to correct the fast blink.

Pontiac Grand Prix 2005 - my left turn signal on the dash board blinks faster than usual but the left signal lamp in the front of the car does not flash! It remains steady. What's wrong ? Also how could I...

Turn Signal Lamps
The STOP/TURN/HAZARD fuse in the instrument panel (I/P) fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the body control module (BCM) for the turn signal lamps. When the turn switch is placed in the LEFT TURN or RIGHT TURN position, ground is applied from G202 through the turn switch, to the turn signal switch signal circuit and to the BCM. The BCM then applies battery positive voltage to front and rear turn signal lamps supply voltage circuits. The left front turn signal lamp is grounded at G100, right front at G101, left rear at G301 and the right rear is at G302.

Turn Signal Reminder
The driver information center (DIC) activates the turn signal warning as requested by either turn signal switch. The turn signal warning sounds when the following occurs:
• The ignition is in RUN.
• The turn signal switch is in either turn position, sensing, within 1 second, an open to battery positive voltage transition in the turn signal control circuit, left or right turn.
• The vehicle has traveled a distance of 1.2 km (0.75 mi) by counting pulses in the rolling odometer class 2 message.
The DIC turns OFF the turn signal reminder when either the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position, or the turn signal switch returns to the OFF position, sensing within 1 second, no transitions from open to battery positive voltage in either of the turn signal control circuits, left turn or right turn.

My first step would be to hook up a factory scan tool an check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes

DTC B3948 Left Front Turn Signal Circuit
Circuit Description
Ground is applied to the turn signal switch. When the turn signal switch is placed in the turn left position, ground is applied to the body control module (BCM) through the left turn signal switch circuit. The BCM then applies a pulsating voltage to the LF and LR turn signal lamps through the LF and LR turn signal voltage supply circuits.

What's the left rear lamp doing ? Flashing fast ?

2002 hd 1400 has a #2 code showing up will not clear

If you've got that Engine light coming On for 4 seconds, Off 4 seconds then On 8 seconds then out, its historic. (there WAS a problem that has now cleared)
If its On 4, Off 4 then remains On its a 'current' code.

I never heard of a #2 code.....they are read as a two digit code.

Here's one method some use to clear all codes:

Disarm alarm if so equipped.
Run/Off switch to OFF
Ignition Key: ON,OFF,ON,OFF,ON (and leave ON)
Press LEFT turn signal switch TWICE. Wait for 1 or 2 flashes..
Press RIGHT turn signal switch ONCE => turn signal will flash 1 time
Press RIGHT turn signal switch ONCE => turn signal flashes 2 times
Press RIGHT turn Signal switch ONCE => turn signals flash 3 times
Press LEFT turn signal switch ONCE. TROUBLE CODES WILL NOW BE DISPLAYED
TO CLEAR ANY CODES,,,=> PRESS & HOLD LEFT signal switch for 5 seconds. => turn
signal will now flash twice to confirm memory is clear.
Turn ignition OFF.

I trying to locate the turn signal flasher relay module

Makes no diff left or right turn, there's one flasher under the dash next to steering columb. Possibly in the fuse panel, but I don't think so. Turn the switch on and flip the signal, listen for the relay/flasher to be clicking. That's the easy way to find it. Even if all you can do is feel the unit flashing. Pull it down and change it. Just plugs into the accessory block.

Turn off alarm without key fob

First off, you need to know the PIN.
Setting the PIN is as follows:

Think of a five-digit PIN, and write it down. Think of this set of numbers as a password for starting your bike and disabling the alarm during those times when you don't have your fob.
Turn the ignition key on, then off, then on, then off, then on again. Then press the left turn-signal switch twice. Press the right turn-signal switch once, and the current PIN should appear in your odometer.
Be sure the first digit of the PIN is flashing. Enter the first digit of your new PIN by pressing the left turn signal to cycle through the numbers.
Press the right turn signal once to switch to the second digit, and select the correct number with the left turn signal. Repeat this process until your new PIN is entered correctly.
Press the right turn signal once, then turn the ignition key off to save the PIN you selected.

Now, how to disable:

Let's assume for simplicity that your code is set at 31313 and you wish to use the manual disarm of the security system using the directional switches as if you lost your fob and cannot disarm the system.

Your security system will disarm the bike and it cannot be started without deactivating the system first.

If you are unsure of what the manual code is refer to the top of this page or check with your dealer and set one if it has not been set by them.

Again this is based on your code being 31313 just to make it easier to understand.

1. Turn the ignition to Accessory.

2. Press both turn signals. (security light should flash rapidly)

3. Press left turn signal button 3 times (the 1st "3" of the PIN). Press right turn signal button 1 time (to "set" the code number).

4. Press left turn signal button 1 time (2nd number of PIN). Press right turn signal button 1 time.

5. Press left turn signal button 3 times. Press right turn signal button 1 time.

6. Press left turn signal button 1 time. Press right turn signal button 1 time.

7. Press left turn signal button 3 times. Press right turn signal button 1 time.

Security light stops flashing and security system is disarmed.

If you've changed the number, use your new number instead of 31313.

1993 Dodge Shadow...left turn signal won't flash

If the fuses are good and the front and rear bulbs are good, change the flasher for the turn signals, even tho the right is working. If that doesn't fix the problem, it might be in the turn sgnal switch on the steering column.
If both bulbs are good for the backup lights and fuses are good, then the backup light switch, which is screwed into the side of the transmission has to bad.
