Tachometer works sometimes and won't work others, plus the right turn bsignal blinks rapidly ; what is the cause and how to fix

The vehicle operates fine otherwise, it causes no other function problems, all the signal/parking lights are operational and no sign of any problems anywhere else; a rapid blinking signal usually means that a light is out, but this is not the case and the tachometer functions properly when it works.

SOURCE: turn signals blink on the wrong side

Do you have a trailer hitch? If you do, the problem may be in the wiring for your trailer lights. I use to work for u-haul and installed $75,000 worth of hitches in one year. the vehicle in your picture take a power module to work your trailer lights. this means a device that takes power from the battery to make your trailer lights work, if you hook up trailer lights to the existing vehicle wiring it will cause a lamp-out sensor failure. If you have this wiring check for normal operation with a test light. If you go to u-haul they probably will inspect your wiring for free. If the device was installed properly, it still can malfunction and probably will sooner or later due to condensation inside the power module. I replaced many of these while working for u-haul.

SOURCE: Power Locks

A motor in one of the doors was going bad and had not completely quit. The dealer replaced the motor in the sliding door behind the driver's side and now the locks work fine after several trips to the dealer and several "reprogramming" issues. The service person also told me that this was not new. Occassionally before a motor goes completely out it can make the whole locking system fail. I am one week without the problem now!

SOURCE: Corolla 2002 tachometer back light

Get a GOOD small Phillips screwdriver and remove the plastic screw in the middle of the moz-screenshot.jpgmoz-screenshot-1.jpgmeter hood sub assembly. You may have to hold the outer plastic ring of the screw to keep it from spinning. Sometimes they are hard to get out,(try not to push up on the screwdriver and once it starts to come out you should be able to pull it the rest of the way). See pic circled in red.

Carefully pry away between the sub assembly and the upper dash with a flathead screwdriver wrapped in masking tape. Once it is movable lower the steering wheel all the way down and pull the sub assembly out.
Remove the Phillips head screw on the top of the meter combination assembly. At the bottom of the assembly you will find two little metal tabs, push each one back gently one at a time while moving the meter out. Disconnect the two plugs at the top of the assembly. Once removed I would replace all the lights. Why do this again?

SOURCE: TURN SIGNAL BLINKS TO FAST RIGHT

The blinker usually blinks fast when a turn signal light is burnt or not contacting. Check the signal bulbs to see if they are contacting or in good condition. If that is not it. Try replacing the blinker under the dash.

1991 jeep yj right turn signal works . I go turn left one one and doesn't blink, it goes out but taillight stays on just doesn't blink and flasher also flasher don't work??

A great many such problems are caused by the hazard switch so before tracing the circuit with a testlamp it is well worth operating the hazard switch rapidly for a couple of minutes...

My left turn signal recently stopped working. Before ceasing to work, the turn signal (just the left) would blink very rapidly (machine gun speed).

sounds like one of light bulbs was malfunctioning and caused the flasher unit to blink rapidly and iy burned out. Replace front and rear turn lite bulbs and see if flasher flashes. if not check fuse and replace fuse. If fuse okay replace flasher unit. Good luck

Turn signal flashes really fast

Usually means one or more of the lamps isn't working or isn't working correctly (faulty ground or similar) or has been fitted with the wrong bulb.
Sometimes dirty contacts on little-used hazard switches is the cause. A couple of minutes of rapid operation usually puts matters right.

Old cars were fitted with an electro-mechanical flasher unit featuring a heating element. These would sometimes flash rapidly when nearly worn out.

Turn signal blinking fast. Why would it do this?

If the dash signal is blinking fast and the back of car signal is NOT working, then the problem is the bulb in the back of the car. The one that is not blinking needs to be replaced. The bulb that's not blinking is burned out, and this changes the resistance of the blinker circuit causing the blinker to flash rapidly on the dash indicator. FIX: Replace the burned out bulb in the back of the vehicle.

Note - Sometimes this situation causes the blinker module on the fuse panel to permanently change to a rapid or even a non-blinking state. In this case you must also replace the blinker device itself, which is on the fuse panel and looks like a small cylinder (or cube) less than one inch in diameter.

My speed on my dash went out so as the rpm but my gas and other thing works, what could be the problem how do i fix ?

If both the speedometer and Tach quit working there is a high probability that the instrument cluster has checked out. The speedometer takes it's signal from the VSS (vehicle speed sensor) via the computer, and the tach comes from either the distributor or coils (tach pin) to the tachometer. Both these items would have to go out to cause your symptoms.

All my lights work on 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada, but the rear right turn signal blinks rapidly

most likely the RF turn signal does not operate. turn on hazard lamps and walk around vehicle to confirm all lights operate. addresss the inop lamp to correct rear turn signal lamp concern.

My left & right indicator does not work & does not blink when it's on.. how do i fix it?

There could be several things that will cause your blinkers to stop working. Most will have to be diagnosed by a QUALIFIED automotive electrical shop but there is one thing you can try first. Step one is to turn your blinker stalk rapidly between right and left turn. Don't damage anything, just go back and forth several times real fast. Next, turn your emergency flashers on and off. Rapidly, like you did with the turn signal stalk. Again, don't damage anything, just do it as rapidly as you can, several times. What you are trying to do is clean the contacts inside the switches. Those two circuits work together to operate the turn signal lights and the emergency flashers are rarely, if ever, used and the contacts get a little corroded.

Rapidly fluctuating tachometer. Nissan Wingroad 1999.

You must be right, the sensor connection could have been moved. Have the mechanic do the checking.

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.

Turn signals do not blink all the time. sometimes they work. Turn signals don't work right. Sometimes blink a few times or not at all.

I just got a 2001 beetle and i had the same problem I changed out the emergency flasher which also is the turn signal relay and it fixed i got the part online and it costed $29.00 plus shipping i did it myself the switch just slides out it was a little hard getting it to plug back in but I got it in about 5 min of messing with it
