On sunday, we got a snow storm here in Arkansas. i was on the interstate heading home, i was doing maybe 35 or 40. i had no problems at all, untill i switched lanes. When i switched i must have hit a patch of ice or something. My car spun, and went backwards into the ditch that separates the two sides of the interstate. The rear end of the car hit one of the wire cables on the divider, it scratched up the bumper and broke out the lens on my right rear tail light. it left the bulb intact and it still works. Now when i use my right blinker, my right rear and front blinker blinks really fast, even the blinker notification on the dash flashes really fast, but my left blinker still operates normally. Whats wrong with it? Some sort of electrical damage? My car is a 2006 Chevy Cobalt ls coupe, if that helps.

Icy roads will do that

The g-forces from spin caused your wiper to be thrown out of sync. You have to re-clock your wipers relay module in order to get it to blink at the proper speed.






















Or maybe your bulb blew.

Don't believe all these jokers.
All you need is new blinker fluid.

Or you could be low on blinker fluid, or the bulb is needs replacing

Blinker fluid eh, you must have nothing better to do.

There is a bulb out somewhere the system isn't sensing the bulb so it goes to hyper flash until it is fixed, made to let you know one is out.

Just try searching in the future because you'll normally get people like that.

Hmm thats strange, the light still works though.

well i started a thread and asked that question since the search button failed me and people said it was mostly due to decent genetics, timing, and that i grew up in a semi-sheltered neighborhood

Being a sheltered child would explain why you're always on here, not really at work but in your basement with a full setup of 3 screens to be the first poster and what not.
