Dontoy Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 I'm a bit perplexed about the turn signal speed on my '97 Camry. The right position operates fine, at the proper speed. The left side blinks alot faster. Both front and rear yellow lights blink. As far as I can tell there is only one bulb for the front and one for the rear...... I'll appreciate any suggestions Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humanoid Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Double check the bulbs and see if they are burnt out. I'm not sure what type of bulbs you have, but if you have dual filament bulbs then I'm 99.9% sure one of the filaments/bulbs are burned out. You may also want to use some sandpaper and work the contacts on the bulb real good. One or more of your bulbs may have a bad contact with the connector. Keep us posted on your progress.

Leighcm Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 A bulb on the left side is either burnt out, or will be burnt out very soon. Just try replacing the bulbs one at a time until it's fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontoy Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 I was wondering if the front yellow bulb is a double filament? If one filiment was burnt out it would go faster, but the owners booket lists the part numbers for all the bulbs except that one... Is it a 3156A or a 3157a?

Leighcm Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hmmm...not sure. Pull one out; it'll say on the base of the bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevelaw Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 It'l say on the bulb, usually. 3157 if I recall. quote name='Dontoy' date='May 30 2006, 04:46 AM' post='3168'] I was wondering if the front yellow bulb is a double filament?

Dontoy Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 I changed the front amber bulb, 1157a, and it worked at the correct speed again. The old bulb looked ok as far as the filiment goes anyway ... but the dash indicator light for a bad bulb is on. I checked all of them even the license plate bulbs. Do I have to disconnect the battery and reconnect like for the engine check light? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humanoid Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 ~snipped Do I have to disconnect the battery and reconnect like for the engine check light? thanks Are you sure you checked all your exterior bulbs? That light should reset itself once you've replaced all the burnt bulbs. It sounds as though you have another burned out bulb somewhere.

Leighcm Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Did you check your rear high-mount brake light? I think there are two bulbs in it, and if only one is out it may not be so obvious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dontoy Posted August 3, 2006 Author Share Posted August 3, 2006 Yes Leighcm that was it...the high brake light.... only one bulb but I didn't even look at it! :o Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
