Right turn signal flashes fast, all bulbs OK. Huh?
Since I got the car. The right turning signal has been flashing fast, as if there is a bulb out. I'v esince replaced all the bulbs and have not been able to cure it. Could this be a flasher relay going out? If so, where would I find it, under the center console?

I believe you have a combination relay located by the fuse box. It actually serves several purposes...flasher, rear window defroster relay, etc. A bit pricey.
I would think if your flasher was acting up that BOTH signals would behave in the same manner. I'm inclined to believe that you have a grounding problem somewhere...specifically the rear taillight housing. Check the metal rails where the bulbs reside and make sure they are seated firmly in the tracks. Over time, they get loose and cause all sorts of weird lighting issues. I'm guessing much of this, since I'm not sure what you really have equipped on your model...sorry.

Check the right turn lights (front and rear) u will find one lamp that is not working or at leat night be not original; replace it and start ur car again : ))..
One more thing could case such problem is the relay that is located in the instrument cluster. I hope it's not that.

fast flasher
I agree with G-Benz on the grouding problem, I had this problem before in non MB's and usually that is the reason.

Grounding problem, even if all the bulbs are actually working? They all glow, just signal fast. Thanks guys.
