Both front turn signals not working...?

Hi!

I just purchased an '03. Both front turn signal lights are out; the previous owner said they'd burned out a few weeks prior, and seemed to think they didn't both blow at the same time. At $3.50/pr at autozone, I didn't make a fuss.

But after I replaced both bulbs (they were indeed blown), the flasher still ran fast, and only the rear turn signals were blinking; nothing out of the fronts. I checked the bulbs, and they're still good.

FYI, no DRL; Autozone tried to sell me the wrong bulbs until I clarified that.

Any ideas on what's going on here?

Thanks!
Dutch

I had the same thing happen to my '04 4Runner Sport with just over 81,000 miles on it.

At first my driver side signal was running fast for a day and the passenger side was fine. The next day it was reversed. On the third day both the drivers and passenger's side turn signals were not working. I replaced both of the bulbs (unlike your Runner mine has DRL), however it did not correct the problem.

I also noticed when I removed the old bulbs the filaments were still intact, however the base of the bulb looked like it was shorted out and burnt.

I called a toyota dealer and talked to a service technician, told him what happened, he seemed to think it was an electrical problem rather than a flasher/relay problem.

I took it a local toyota repair shop and brought the old bulbs with me. Though they didn't have an answer for me when I brought it in, after they diagnosed the problem they said it was the actual turn signal/drl sockets were bad. They replaced the sockets and new bulbs (not sure if the replaced ones blew again) and everything was working fine.

Total cost was about $85.00

i think you need to replace your flasher relays and check your fuses.

will definitely check flasher relay,, I am assuming that if the fuses were blown that the blinkers would not work at all. Relay seems more plausible

Actually having the same issue. Blinker lights in the dash come on and I can hear the relay sound but both front blinkers don't work.
