Blinker Options

[o0black0o]

Had an accident in my works parking lot. I hit a shopping cart holder. and busted my fender inward and hit a small amount on my front end that is already ****ed up. Was dark, cold, and windows were fogged up didn't see the damn thing.... Anywho My blinker light is messed up somehow, I checked under the hood no damage just body ****. Blinker is not blinking correctly it is pulsing at like 10x faster and won't fully eluminate when blinking yet works find with lights just sitting on. Just to not get anyone confused Its on the front bumper not the side markers. Checked the bulb its fine, my clear singal is ****ed up yet still hanging on by one bolt. Wireing doesn't look pulled or twisted. Inside the cabin, I can put the blinker on and the light goes 10x fast also. Any ideas? Maybe screwed the bulb and need another? Wiring im not seeing?

Yup, definately a short somewhere. You could try swapping the bulb with the other side. If the same side still blinks 10x fast then it is wiring; if the other side now blinks 10x fast instead it is the bulb. If it is wiring, you are looking for a short from (one of) the wire(s) that goes to the center connection(s) on the bulb (+ve) to either bodywork or the wire that goes to the shell connection of the bulb (-ve). Could well be that a bit of the bodywork has pierced that +ve wire somewhere.
