why is my right turn signal flashing faster than the left? how do i fix this?

 

Make sure all your bulds are standard instead of HD bulbs.
There's also a chance you have a burned out sidemarker on one side.

Turn your hazzards on and do a walk around of the car. This will show you any burned out bulb (hazzard is not affected by dead bulbs).

HD bulbs generally tend to have a heavier filiment which takes a little more juice to light. This creates more resistance in the circuit. Resistance creates heat and the flasher has a bi-metal element the works off heat (resistance.. the strip heats and cools.. the 'tick tick' sound). The more resistance (by bulb) the faster the flasher cycles. If one side has some HD bulbs, it will cycle (flash) faster than the side with all standard bulbs.
This is the same reason adding a trailer to a p/u causes the signals to flash faster unl;ess a HD flasher realy is added.

That may make no sense (due to me explaining it) but basically, if you want both sides to flash evenly, you need to make sure they both have the same kind of bulbs (standard or HD: heavy duty).

Another cause would be bad grounds .

 

Heat in the circuit is created by the power going through the circuit, or watts. Watts is voltage x Current. If you up the resistance, you lower the current, therefore lowering the watts, which produces less heat.

Just like a 100 watt bulb, and a 60 watt bulb. The 100 has more power, so it actually generates more heat. Check it with a thermometer.



Ok, on to your problem. I have to agree that it is probably a burned out buld.
