actually, while we're talking about signal switches ...

why is my left turn signal blinking faster than my right one ?
One of your bulbs is about to blow on that side.

[:-]really ... i gotta get that checked out.

The filament/coil is starting to melt onto the other windings, thus lowering the total resistance in that bulb and that side of the circuit, thus a fast turn signal.
Just take out each of the turn sig bulbs and have a look or just replace them. For the rears, I'd replace both sides or you may get one side brighter than the other syndrome.

yeah i just checked them out, removed them, adjused them, played with them ...

its doing awesome now.


but the bulbs are different from the others ... the other one has like 6 small led's surrounding a big bulb, and this one looks like it came from a lamp.

...so, one side has an LED and the other side is a regular bulb? Why? Why aren't both sides the same? Just to be "Monk-ish" I'd replace the regular bulb with the another LED.

Cheapest place is the junk yard.
Explain "shot". It could be a simple fix and that's why I ask.

Can you post the link to it KD? I'll post a little in here, but I'd like to see the original issue.
According to CAPS

..but according to my manual...there's a flasher unit under the dash under the driver's left side knee protector in that multi-purpose fuse panel

Have you installed it yet? Did it fix your issue?
