Default Slow right turn signal

Ok, so my right turn signal got really slow all of a sudden. Left turn signal blink at the normal speed and both blink at normal speed with hazards on. Its only when i signal right that it takes a few seconds for the first blink then blinks at a really slow rate. I have all LED bulbs out back and a dual color switchback LED on the front right and waiting for the left side to come in. Now idk if thats related to the issue because from what I know, LEDs would cause the lights to blink at a faster rate. A little stumped. When I get the left front LED I'll install it and see if I got the same issue as the right side. Any info, thanks.

Does it happen with the hazards too or just the blinker?

edit: read the post.

Swap your flasher and blinker thingies.



Those two. Swap them out. Bottom left and top right.

I think I'm just as stumped as Morgan about your post.

Generally I don't like getting involved in problem created by mods, such as LED lights. Usually when a turn signal is lazy it can be attributed to corrosion on a bulb contact, which can be cured by cleaning the bulb contact and applying some bulb grease. With LED's it may be an amp draw issue. ?

I would put the normal lights back in and see if that fixes it. Don't know why you would want to put LEDs in it, normal bulbs are cheap.

LEDs are brighter, cheap, use less power, run less hot... plenty of reasons to use them.

Common mod..

Yeah, WAY brighter than any regular bulb I've used. 7W white amber switchback LED. Ok, so now I got the left side in and now that side blinks slow too. Left turn signal blinks slow, right turn signal blinks slow. Hazards on, blink at normal speed. Hazards on WITH parking lights on, rear blinks normally but front is stuck on amber and not blinking at all. Idk, weird
