For some reason when I hit the blinker switch to make a left it doesnt go on and it makes a fast clicking sound. But when I make a right signal turn it works fine. The left one works 1 out of 4 tries. What can I do? Just buy a new switch or is the fuse? thanks..... its off a 96 Cobra.

the blinker going quickly is usually a sign of a blown turn signal bulb either in the rear or the front.

I have noticed that when I hit the blinker switch very slowly it does signal correctly...could it still be the bulbs? I just wont know until either later on today or tommorow when I have some free time to work on the car. thanks

[Confused] It takes about 10seconds to check and make sure all the bulbs are working...btw~Check all the bulbs, with the lights on and off, not just the blinkers....

Its not the bulb...i changed it and it still does the same thing....its only when I lock down the blinker. I noticed that when i do it very gently it will blink when I lock it down. So what is it? [Confused]
