A: if your just pressing it in to make it work and not jiggling a fuse or changing bulbs then check that a: the socket for the bulb isn't dirty b: the bulb isn't dirty. my best advice probally NOT a fuse and if your corner light is going out as in your front blinker in the corner then it would blink extremly fast.

Hehe, my dad's car's right front light is blinking REALLY freakin fast, so its prob the fuse in his case. Tight, u have any experience with broken parts on ur car????

;) jfwy, maybe ur header(notice I didn't say headers!!!) problem is just a fuse also:rolleyes:that'd make it a lot easier to fix, but hey, taking apart ur header to fix it should be fun to watch.

NO in his case its the bulb fuse doesn't normally do that the fast blinking is a warning/reminder that your blinker is going out and helps to prevent you from geting ticketed for having a non working blinker! the header is gonna be fun!

K now we are getting somwhere if it blinks extremley fast AND goes out on ya clean it our witha dry rag or go to electronics sotre see what they say and also replace your bulbs if it blinks very rapidly then its gonna go on ya soon. remember thogh if you replace the front and its still blinking fast then check your rear it might be going out so i would suggest going ahead and buying bulbs for front and back and replacing all four taht will save you problems in the long run.
