So, First, I have been through the archives, but I have not found my specific issue.

What Happens:
- My Right turn signal blinks VERy rapidly, about 3-4X normal.
- My rear turn signals on the passenger side (rear only) Both do not operate.
- When hazzards are turned on, all work fine.
- When lights are on, both work fine.

I have replaced the bulbs to be certain, no results.

From reading past posts, It seems to be a ground maybe? (I only have an aftermarket exhaust added back there)
or
Is is the relay / Hazard / Stalk ?

Any help is appreciated as I am far from good with electric.

BTW - it is my 2000 with ~35K miles.

Thanks!
Chris

Any thoughts?

It doesn't seem to be a rear ground problem. If it was, they wouldn't work with the hazard lights, or brake lights either. That is the biggest clue right there, and it would seem to point to a stalk (switch) problem.

You said when the lights are on, both work fine....does that mean the tailights work fine, or the that the RR turn signals work if the taillights are on?
I would assume the former, as there doesn't seem to be any connection tying the taillights and turn signal curcuits....they are seperate circuits and use dual-filament bulbs, so the taillight operation should have no bearing on the turn signal problem.

So I should check the stalk switch first then... well let's see what happens! Thanks..

Any other ideas while I am at it????

I have the exact same problem. Will try the Hazard switch, but I don't feel like taking apart the damn dash.

I also have a 2000 coupe and I had the same problem and I had to replace my front parking light bulbs because one of the bulbs filaments was almost completely broken not quit all the way. I think that this caused some kind of short and imediately it fixed all my problems.

I'll try that before I do the switch. thanks for the tip.

NP! I hope it works out, it's not too many times we get lucky with inexpensive repairs

Have 2000 C5 Coupe Drivers side rear turn signal flashes very fast. Left front signal not working at all. Sick of overpriced dealer. Can I change the bulb myself. How do you remove the lense. Please advise ..Also what are the best bulbs?
Thanks

Ok , I found in the archives how to remove the shroud from the headlight....got that but how do you pull the bulb out. I tried pulling the grey plastic but it won't budge. Is there a trick to it....many thanks

nightmel

sfrob, just twist it counterclockwise socket that the wire is connected to and all. that will release it from the housing.

thanks it worked...
