Another directional issue - can you help?

[Trevor C.]

Hi all,

I know a rapid flashing directional normally means a blown bulb. Here's what I have; the rear directional (and dashboard indicator) flash rapidly. The front directional illuminates but does not flash. I replaced the bulb anyway but I have the same situation. Do I have a bad directional relay?

Thanks! Any help would be appreciated.

Which bulb did you replace, front or rear? You most likely have a ground issue.

Is this on one side or both?
If its on just one side it's not the flasher module.
Also, do the emergency flashers work?
They use the same flasher module.

Thanks for the feedback!

The front flasher on the right side is not working. The left side works normally. When 4- ways are on all work bulbs normally except for that front flasher. It lights up fine with the headlights on, it just doesn't flash.

Could be a corroded socket, bad ground, or other wiring problem

Thanks! I'll try cleaning the socket and surrounding wires and see if that gets me anywhere.
