2002 Bonneville - Left Indicator issue

[karthik082]

Hello everyone,

Right indicator works fine !! But my left indicator switches constantly almost with NO interval, each time when i put ON. There is suppose to be pre-defined interval during the indicator lights come on / off.

Each morning after i start the vehicle, Left indicator works fine as expected, but after few (may be 10) minutes the issue pops..

Note : This issue is being observed from past a week. I think its some electrical issue and i may need to check with a mechanic. But before i go and spend money i wanted to know if anyone else had faced this kinda issue.

Your suggestions will be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Usually a fast cycle on the flasher indicates a burned out bulb. Next time it happens get out and see if the front and rear bulbs are lit.

Thanks for your reply. I did check for the bulbs, they work fine !!

Also heard from other friends that they also have similar issue, who owns Pontiac Grand. Infact they mentioned that it could be feature for pontiac.

96, at least, G Am had a recall for rear bulbs not always working with flasher. Computer IIRC.

Are both bulbs working while the quick flashing occurs?

If one isn't working that would be the place to start. Look for bad bulb(naturally), loose connections and corrosions. Anything that reduces current flow will speed up the blink.

Had a rear bulb go on my 03 so replaced all 6 last fall. Quite a few had corrosion. Your post reminds me of wanting to replace the fronts in warmer weather.
