My front Left blinker isnt working, ive replaced the bulb, the remaining blinkers work, and the rear left flashes double speed.
the wires at the bulb are all connected and there is no power getting to it.
Of note, i recently put in a subwoofer and amplifier and i had to shift some stuff (which i put back perfectly, notably under the steering column in the drivers footwell, Battery, and water/coolant tank)
thanx peoplez

have you checked your relays? (under the steering wheel, above the fusebox)
everytime ive had indicators flashing double speed it usually always turned out to be the relay

silly thing to ask, but the relay you placed back in was it a different one or same one you had in before?
also did you notice if there was any corrosion on the connections of the relay?
just trying to rule out the simple things first :)

it was the same one, the relay is in near new condition, no corrosion, still, if it was the relay, why is it killing only the front left blinker leaving the rear left at double speed?

when one globe blows or is taken out of the circuit, the remaning globes and the flasher clicks will always happen faster. i'd be looking at wiring

........ that could cost a fair bit, might have to have all the wires replaced, that would mean cutting the wiring harness and taking apart under the dash to get to the start of it............. price range for a check?

not really, if the wire is sending signal to the other lights, then it's more than likely a problem in the loom itself, to start with i'd trace that wire back and see where it still has current

Checked that your globe is good? Try swapping with the right front globe for testing.
