Ok. So last night I was cleaning out my car & I found a LED bulb in the glove compartment. The LED is one of those that you can install in the front turn signals. So I popped the hood removed the bulb & installed the LED just to see if it works. It doesn't, no biggie I just reinstalled teh pervious bulb.

I got in the car this morning to go to work & put on my signal to make the left as usual but the indicator light is blinking fast as if there was a blown bulb. I pulled over & checked to see if I had a blown bulb but they both worked. During the ride to & from work today I would periodically turn it on & it would blink nornally for about two blinks & the n goes back to blinking fast.

Now my question is did I screw something up when I treid out the LED bulb?

thats odd, did the LED bulb have corrosion on it that might've screwed things up in the plug?

try cleaning out the bulbs and see.

The connections inside the plug are loose. I spent 1 year trying to figure out that same issue. Finally the last theory I had left was to change the plug. Spent 5 bucks at the yard and after I replaced it, everything was back to normal.
