Figuring Out Which Bulb is Burnt Out

Have you ever noticed your turn signal blinking rapidly? This is your vehicle’s way of telling you that you have a burn out turn signal bulb. The side of the vehicle that the blinker flashes tells you which side (passenger or driver) has a burnt out bulb. Once you determine which side is burnt out, you need to get out of your vehicle with the turn signal flashing to determine which side (front or rear) is burnt out. If the front is flashing, then the rear bulb is burnt out and vice versa.
