Default Turn signal bulb issues

Getting fast blinker for pass side turn signal. Checked the bulb and it is good. Noticed when I checked the bulb that it works when partially out of the housing, not when fully inserted. Should I replace the housing, or is this some kind of ground issue.

Double check that both your turn signal and the side indicator are working correctly. The side indicator I speak of is located on either side of the fender close to the "SE/S/SE7/HSE7" emblem. I bet that if either the side indicator or the turn signal bulb is blown it will cause the blinker to flash quickly like that. While your at it check your read blinkers to.

Agreed. The relay works in a way that it flashes quicker if one of the bulbs is blown. That way, you know from the seat. Otherwise how would you know? "Sorry officer, it was fine when I set off". Is the usual line.

I think hazard warning relays are different, as it's an emergency thing. They always flash at the same rate. I had to build a flashing 12v light system into a thing I was doing for work, and found I had to use hazard relays, not turn signal relays.
