I have an intermittant blinker (turn signal)

The left turn signal is intermittant, but the right one works just fine. When it is intermittant, the rear light is the one that doesn't seem to work. I've checked the bulb, and it works just fine. I believe I have a wiring problem, but I don't have a wiring diagram to troubleshoot.

SOURCE: right read blinker/break light dont work, turn signal blinks rapidly

It's the bulb. There are two filliments in the bulb. One is for when you turn your lights on and the other is for breaking and blinker flashing. When the break filliment goes bad it causes the blinker to flash very rapidly. 100% the bulb. Change it and all will be good again. P.S. if it were a fuse none of the break lights or blinkers would work.

SOURCE: Rear blinkers and brake lights on 2001 ford focus not working

yes it sounds like the turn signal switch is defective, the brake lights go through that switch as well.

SOURCE: Right turn signal not working. Blinks very fast.

the fast blink means your bulb is burnt out back there.

Cant resolve a blinker issue, Tried the easy stuff.

The signal wire going to the right front has a splice for the dash indicator, a wire branching off from the turn wire and going to the dash. It sounds like that right signal wire is broken or lost a connection before it splices off to the dash, so the problem sounds like it is under the dash, either coming out of the turn signal switch to the flasher or from the flasher to that splice. You may need a multi-meter to check voltages on that wire at various places under the dash. Ascertain which color wire you need to concentrate on. Check for voltage on it with key on and right blinker on-voltmeter will spike to battery voltage, then fall to zero as the flasher breaks voltage continuously, if checked after the flasher. If checked when leaving the turn switch, it should be a continuous signal on that wire. Think you better find a wiring diagram to find the right wire to check. Good luck.

Right blinker makes both back blinkers flash but only the right on the front

I would suspect the turn signal switch is defective. Do not place any parts until an qualified GM tech has confirmed this guess.

2004 Toyoto Sienna turn signals intermittent. Sometimes they work fine. Left turn or right turn. Is there a flasher for them? If so where is it?

Check and see if your hazards switch are not sticking..The flasher is right under the steering column..Turn blinker on with engine off and you'll be able to follow the clicking noise from the flasher.Just hopefully it doesnt stop before you investigate where it is..Hope this helps you and good luck..and have a great day...

1990 Corolla blinkers working intermittently only

If the flasher ("blinker can") was bad, It would be rare that it would work intermittantly. We rarely change the fashers, they are pretty reliable. My suggestion to you is to check your turn signal switch. If the signals are not flashing, cycle the switch back to center & left/right; hold it in the "on position".... Do the lights the start to work? if so, replace the turn signal switch.
