My right blinker just started blinking twice as fast as normal. I figured I had a burnt out bulb somewhere but everything seems to work fine still, brake lights reverse lights headlights etc... Does anyone have any idea what might be wrong with my 2001 XJ or how to fix it? Thanks!



The turn signals do blink both front and back just twice as quick as the speed they should

 

That is usually an indication that one of the bulbs is out. I know you say all the other lights work but they do not affect the turn signals. Have you checked the turn signals to see if they are working?

 

Replace the bulb and see what happens.

 

blown bulb

 

Now you say front and back, but what about the small ones on the sides? (yes in the front) Look at them little guys and see if theyre working

 

Maybe a bad ground????

 

Ok thanks for helping the newbie everyone, when I looked at the front blinker I just looked for flashing and that's what I saw, I didn't look to see that two bulbs were flashing though, only one was and it was obvioulsy an easy fix. Thanks everyone

 

The previous owner of my Jeep had a shop replace relays, fuses, everything else except the second bulb in the blinker housing....which was a bargaining chip for me...
