Q: Turn signal flashing quickly. 1996 Oldsmobile Achivea
I just noticed this past week that my left turn signal flashes very quickly. It’s only the turn signal that does this. But when the hazard lights are on it will flash normally. Do you know why it does this? And how can I fix it to flash normally? Thanks.
