I have a '96 200SX SE-R, the problem is that after fixing my signal problem is has come back and I can't find what's wrong with it. When I signal to turn left the blinker comes up as normal, but when I turn on the left blinker, its blinks at hyper speed and really annoys me. Is there anyone out there that knows how I could get it back to normal. Thanks.
Most of the time a blinker will go faster because of a burnt out light bulb. jhave you checked all your lights??
If it's not that then you might need to replace your turn signal relay. They're relitivley cheap but start with the Bulbs, Go from there.

I saw that you mentioned about your left blinker going really fast. I have the same problem with my car. I have replaced the bulb and everything, but it continues to blink really fast at random times.

just because im a girl doesnt mean i cant be into my car
mine does it to, except that my front passanger side light only works when the parking lights are on. i know its a short or a bad ground, i just hav'nt had the time to look into it.

Strange...the lights work fine. No bulb burnout, nothing cut. Just an annoyingly fast blinker...not as fast when the lights are on.
same as mine.

Well,
If there was a past problem, your blinker relay may be shot. You could always shell out $10 for a new one, but thats a silly way to see if thats the root of the problem. (I did it once for a hazard trelay issue, and it worked like a charm, but it was a $10 gamble).
It is most likely a burnt our resistor or bulb somewhere within the car. Your relay is working fine, whats wrong here is the timing of the relay.
The timing of the relay is dependant on the resistors attached to it...So I'm assuming it is something wrong with the bulb or a resistor has been shot somewhere in your car. It could...quite possible(but rarely be the relay as well). If it was the relay then what would happen is your turn signal would be lit constantly or not be lit at all..

Originally posted by jdub I have the same problem, too, and both my blinker lights work fine. I did notice some condensation in my left corner...would that cause it?
Condensation in your left corner???? Hmmm....thats weird....That could defenitly be a problem. Water could defenitly short circuit something, even if it is condensation.
