What is the meaning of this?

My driver's side turn signal is flashing way faster than the passenger when operating independently. Haven't tried them together thru the hazard button. Neither side appears to have any burnt bulbs. Any thoughts?

Sounds like the wrong bulb got put in.

This just started. Only thing different was I rented a U-Haul 5x9 trailer over the weekend to bring home some patio furniture. Everything worked fine. Right, left turn signals and brakes. :dunno:

You plugged the harness from the U-Haul to the harness on the Marauder?

You have a blown bulb is what it sounds like to me. Turn on the turn signal and take a look at the 2 bulbs on that side I bet one of them is out.

edit: didn't see the comment about the bulbs not appearing burnt in your original post. This is a typical thing though when a bulb burns the turn signal on that side will generally flash quicker than normal. Wonder if you may have shorted the flasher relay or something when the trailer was hooked up.

Ya, this happened to me, but not on a Marauder. Found the burnt bulb, took it to the local parts store and got a replacement. Then it blinked slower than normal, because they gave me an 1157 instead of an 1156 or something like that. Been a few years and a few cars since then, tho. Check the plugs, maybe a prong broke off or something. If not, spray some wire cleaner in the plug? Maybe some grit is in it causing a connection?

Happened to me last month. Replaced both bulbs on that side and problem was fixed. Low resistance in one of the bulbs even though both looked OK.

Unusual fast flashing means a bulb is out, just do a check of all your bulbs and you'll spot it.

A bulb is out or weak. If the LCM senses not enough resistance then it rapidly flashes that side. Replace all the bulbs... 2 rear and 1 front.
