The flasher is designed to require a minimum load to work properly. The
fast flashing is an indication that one of the bulbs is out. Turn on the
emergency flashers. The front and rear bulbs should be equally bright.
If the right front is dimmer than the left, that is the problem. Bad
socket, ground connection, or the socket is connected wrong. Rear would
be bad socket, ground, or wrong bulb. Should be 1156 for turn signal,
reverse and brake lights. Front bulb is 1157, dual filament. The
brighter filament is for the turn signal. Lower brightness is for the
marker or parking lights.

Subject: Turn signals Blinking Too fast???????

Anyone ever failed inspection after putting all new light bulbs into all
tail lights headlights and turn signals , in particular for a Right turn
signal

Just took my 1982 Vanagon GL in thru inspection, everything passed
except
for the Right side turn signal.  Like i said We just replaced
everysingle  light
bulb there was to replace so im kinda scratching my head at this one
Maybe
some kind of wiring problem or somthing else??
