My drivers side blinker binks about 3 cycles per second, my passernger side about 1 cycle per second. way back when this was a sign of a blown lightbulb somewhere. all of my lightbulbs appear to work appropriatly.
Any idea whats going on?

Bad relay probably
Or you might be low on blinker fluid

It probably actually is a bulb. Try turning on the hazard lights and carefully looking to make sure both front turn signals look the same and that both rear ones do too.
Also, you could try swapping your left and right turn signal bulbs to see if the fast blink switches sides.

*massages temples* blinker fluid. oi. reminds me of the guy in highschool we told could make 10 dollars an hour removing Radiators for VW bugs.
Ill check out the bulbs on hazard mode.
Im thinking a faulty relay though,. Seems to jive with all the other bad relays in the car.

I can't think of a relay that only affects one side's turn signals.

and VRG3 sinks one from the 3 point line.
Turned on the hazard lights and the drivers side front turn signal is noticably dimmer than the passenger side.

went and got a replacement bulb for my turn signal. the one that was already there looked like it should have been in the dashboard.
Some peoples kids. I swear.
