Hey guys, I noticed something weird about a day or two ago. My right turn signal blinks faster than my left. Is this a simple fix or a wiring issue? Maybe my ocd is getting the best of me, but I can't until it stops altogether to get if fixed. Suggestions please. :crazy:

one of your lights is not working...rear or front turning signal on the right side

Looks like your signal bulb is out. My bet would be on the socket being the culprit, possibly overheating. The problem is figuring out which one it is - front or back as I believe both will flash fast if one malfunctions. I think I'd try removing the rear since it appears easier to do (never done it on the M so don't hold me to it) and inspect. If the bulb is out but no other signs of smoked housing, melted base/ socket etc, then the bulb just gave out. If no signs, including perfectly looking bulb, then the front is the most likely problem. Just repeat the whole thing.

You could just turn on the turn signal and then walk around the car...

There's a good chance both will flash fast even though one is malfunctioning. But I do agree to look first and see.

You guys are the best!! It was the the right front turn signal that was blown. I replaced the bulb today and everything is working fine. Thanks again. :)
