I need help with a problem I am having with my left turn signal. I have a stock, for the time being, 1992 240SX Coupe. My left turn signal is blinking faster then the right turn signal, which blinks at the regular speed. Also my rear left turn signal does not blink at all, I checked the bulb and it's not bad. The right front and rear turn signals blink regularly. The problem is with the left side only. I checked the fuses in the car and in the engine bay and everything looks okay. When I put the hazards on, both sides blink at the regular speed, but the left rear turn signal still does not blink at all.

I cannot really think of what maybe causing it. :confused: If anyone can help it will be greatly appreciated

bad ground wire??? try switching the bulbs from the one side to the other... & if it still blinks the same way, then start looking for a bad ground wire... just my guess

One more guess, Find someone with the same car and swap out your flasher (not sure on the technical term.) Its usually located in the fuse box. Looks like a metal trash can. I have heard stories, about problems just like your and they said it was the flasher. I dont see how but its worth a shot. Hell buy one from Autozone and if it doesnt correct the problem then return it.

You need to replace your relay.. The reason it works for your hazard blinkers is that it uses its own seperate relay.. You can get relays at any auto parts store.. Bout $2 a peice.. or you can go on ebay where they sell these really cool relays that speed up your turnsignals blinking to strobe speed..

Here is a link to one of those relays on e-bay I spoke of previously.
