Left Blinkers Acting Strange

[Hulk1010]

Today when i got into my car and drove of I noticed the left blinker arrow was flashing very fast, so i pulled over got out of the car to have a look, the back left, side left both work but are flashing very fast, the front left doesn't work at all, do i need a replacement or did something just come loose from one of the connections? I drove staright to my mechanic except he wasn't there, so i gotta wait till either tomorrow or monday to get it checked out

thanks

it's telling you a bulb is out. in this case your front left. replace it. problem solved.

thanks, and the fast flashing with the other blinkers should go away also?

yes, the fast flashing is to let you know one or more blinkers is not working. when they are working, it will be back to normal.

it is due to the resistance change due to the blown globe ..

if you replace these globes with LED lights with lower resistance, this would happen then too
