fast blinker?

DiezMon 14 April 2005 19:47:07
 Hey all,

Last night the right blinker on my '98 TJ starting blinking in some kind of
turbo speed. I know this usually means you have a light burned out.

I checked all bulbs on the right site and they're all good, what do I do
next?

Thanks!

Tim

Relay? Loose connection?

Did you check the bulb connection?

WD-40 in each turn signal light socket fixed it for me.

 Maybe you need to do a blinker fluid change?

WD-40 can dissolve certains types of plastic tho. You'd probably be better
off using an electrical contact cleaner.

I'm a telephone man and I can tell you that to use WD-40 on a phone is to
condemn it to a slow death.

LOL! Man you want to see what it does to network cables, the clear
plastic plugs went jelly a short while after my son cleaned up the hub.

I do not believe it will harm any plastics I have seen in vehicles
though and it is a good cleaner for plugs and sockets. I think I have
seen it sprayed on most every part at one time or another....

 Ah ha, for anyone who cares...

The contacts on the front socket were a little corroded... I cleaned them
off using an xacto knife and all is well.

 Yup, we are interested, thanks for the follow up!

You can get 'spark plug boot protector' or other types of dielectric
grease to use in those places to help slow down more corrosion.

You should consider stopping at your local discount parts retailer and
buying a tube of silicone "bulb grease". Squirt some on the lamp base
before you put it back in and 1) you'll never have to brighten the
contact with a knife again and 2) when the bulb burns out you'll be able
to extract it in one piece.

Thanks for getting back to the group. We really do like to kow how
things work out for folks.
