2 issues driving me nuts!

[Go Mifuni]

First, My right directionals started blinking twice as fast as my left. I know this usually happens when you have a bulb out but they are all working fine.
Second, for some time I've had this mysterious clicking sound coming from my right rear wheel. It's not all the time and clicks during both braking and non-braking. Any ideas?

Hey, Speed Racer!

On item #1, I believe someone else had this same issue...search for it...or maybe they'll respond.

Item #2 sounds like an issue with the parking brake...pull the wheel and rotor off and see if there are any loose or damaged parts or anything in the hat that doesn't belong there (small stones, dust etc).

I think blinking rate is dependent on the resistance in the system. You may have a short or bulb about to go on one side.

I believe that there is a burnt out bulb on that side.
As for #2, I had to adjust my e-brake cables to get rid of the slack. They were loose enough to where the actuator end would contact the back of the wheel studs on the axle shaft.

See, that's the thing. ALL the bulbs are working! That's why I'm scratching my head. :confused:
I'll check the E-brake though.

There are 2 bulbs that are close together in the rear lens. If all of the bulbs work, then the lighting control module may be at fault.

Maybe a flasher is out??? That happend to me with a different car. It would blink all fast, then one day, no turn signals at all. Took it to the dealer and it was my flasher.

As for the clicking...I dunno.....

Two bulbs, huh? I thought we had one and the CV's had two? Now I'll have to look closer to make sure.

Two points:
A. There is no flasher. Signals are controlled by the Lamp Control Module.
B. Turn on the hazards (Warning lamps, 4way etc.) and go around and compare one side with the other. Look for dimmer lamps and count bulbs. May be easier in the garage or after dark.
Good luck,
