Hi Gang - Relative to this thread on turn signal light behavior, I just had an interesting situation with Winged1. I started getting the "fast flash" on the right hand turn indicator, which suggested that one of the bulbs had gone bad, or one of the sockets had developed either corrosion or a short circuit. (As an aside, I have both the front and rear side markers flashing with my turn signals) Looking at the lights from the outside, the issue was with the right front light, so I took it apart to examine the bulb, etc. The bulb appeared to be good, with no apparent issues with the filaments. The socket tested good with a test light. Hmmmm. I applied bench power to the bulb, and the brighter filament was bad, even though the filament looked visually okay. Another aside - I had installed generic bulbs many years ago. In looking at the OEM replacement bulbs that we have in our inventory at DPNW, the bulbs originally supplied with the DeLorean are quite different in the appearance of the contacts, and are much higher quality. I was very surprised to see the differences. Bottom line - NEVER assume a light bulb is good, even if it looks good with a visual inspection. Always test if in doubt.

You could also have a grounding problem. Make sure all ground connections are clean and tight.
