Turn signal flashing fast

[cy_laamanen]

My 2003 Buick Regal's right turn signal started to flash fast today, I understand it is usually the bulb, the connection, or something along those lines. But I am far from educated in these matters, so I thought I would ask here before messing something up.

Here is what I noticed:
- The right turn signal on the dash is flashing fast (the left is normal)
- My front right running light was off during the day, but turned on when my headlights turned on
- The turn signal at the back (both sides, right faster than left) are working

What is the recommended plan of attack?

Thanks a bunch

Fast flashing is a burnt out bulb 99% of the time. You already confirmed that the rear signal is working, but what about the front?

There are TWO signals on the right front.... one in the large clear plastic and a smaller one in the corner reflector. They should be alternating flashes. Can you confirm they are both working?

Thanks, it was one of the front bulbs, the one in the corner reflector. I missed it the first time. Everything is working now.

Thanks again for your time.

Cool. The corner reflector is one of the easiest ones to access on the car 😉

Is that right? My girlfriends car is also a 2003 Buick Century and when she turns the signal on the bulbs
closest to the grill flashes but not the other one. It lights up solid when the turn signals are turned on tho.
Hers also has this fast flash on the pass side. Could this all be the same issue?
We thought it was strange that the side light would come on with the turn signal but not flash also.

I have a 2002 Buick Century, and on my car the lights do not flash alternately. Only the interior one next to the grill flashes. The outside one does not flash...

All light works but flashing faster

It happens to me on the driver side rear blinker about once a year. It has been happening for a few years now. I'm not sure what causes it but I just replace the bulb when it happens.
