Okay, 1 more post for tonight # : ) I had a front end pretty much rebuilt on my car...the right front blinker and rear is blinking very fast, and very dim...Ive changed bulbs and everything, even swapped them, but nothing new..Putting hazords on will blink fine on both lights at regular speed...how do i check the wiring route to see if its messed up, is one wire for blinker and one for hazord???ThanksRoss

the fast blink is to tell you that one of the bulbs is not working. But in your case, something is either wired incorrectly or there is a short.

if you just did the front end, there should only be 3 wires to where the light bulb goes into. One of them should be your ground and the other 2 is for your driving/parking light and the other one is turn signal. You can find out which one is which buy simply turning on yur headlights. Once you defined the two , swap them and that should work

Or you can just "fix" the other one to do the same, and there you have it...hyper blinkers! I paid like a dollar for a little relay that replaces the stock blinker relay boc underneath the dash and now my blinkers go like their on crack. Like it better that way :)

your ground wire for the bliker is either cut somewhere or not connected properly...i know this because i cut my graound wires to make them blink faster.
