96-E320 turn signal
 

On the way to work this morning, my left turn signal suddenly flashed much quicker than normal.

Will check the user manual and bulbs tonight when I get home, but does anybody know off hand if that indicates a burn bulb, or other relay problems? (light bulb defective warning on the dash did not come on).

Thanks.

Yes, that indicates a burned out directional bulb. This is a response from the lamp failure monitor system which replicates what an older car did with a burned out directional. They could have just as well had it flash at a normal rate, but chose to do it this way, figuring drivers are already conditioned to notice the "fast flash" indicates an inop turn signal. Guess it worked, huh?

Thanks Gilly! That was fast!
