my right turn signal blinks fast like it does when a light is burned out, but i made sure all of the turn signal lights are replaced, even sidemarker lights.. and it still does it. is there anything else that could cause it to do this?

thanks

If it's only the right turn signal, then i guess we could rule out the turn signal relay.
I think your turn signal switch may be going bad. Mine was so weird before i had to finally fix it. My left side was either not working or blinking way too fast. It was crazy.
You can either find a new turn signal/headlight switch($$$) or try to fix yours or visit a junk yard and get a used one.
Just in case, before anything else, IF you have a spare turn signal relay, try to replace it first. I did have a bad and weird acting Turn signal relay on my car once too.

Good luck!

the signal blinks on the external lights.. if the relay was bad it wouldn't , right?

I have this "problem" too. I recently replaced the combination switch with a brand new one, because the old one no longer turned the headlights on! But anyhow, replacing the combination switch did not affect the issue of the hyper-fast turn signal. Just thought I'd let you know before you plunked $100+ on a new switch.

thanks for the heads up

If the relay is bad, all turn lights will be acting weird, regardless of their side (left/right). The green indicator lights on the dashboard will be weird too. This is what happened on my car at least.

Check your grounds for the tailights/turn signal lights. Might be a broken wire at the hinge.
