w210 turn signal issue

Hi all, Today I realized that when I made a left turn the indicator in the instrument cluster started to blink faster than usual. After inspecting the vehicle from the outside, I found out that my left front signal is not working. Furthermore, I looked at the fuse chart and it says 5,41. I checked fuse no.5 and it was o.k. However couldn't locate the fuse no.41. So, my question is; is it the fuse or the bulb? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Agreed. It's so obviously the bulb.

By the way...my front left front tyre is flat...do you think it needs air?

OK your pissed because you haven't won a medal yet!!!

By the way you know that bla bla bla always suggests a CPS or evap sensor when you have a flat tire.Don't confuse the issue!!

PS: I corrected you spelling

rudo,
swapping out the left bulb with the right bulb would be a pretty straight forward
verification.

Two countries divided by a common language...tyre is spelt with a Y in the home of the English language.

You also missed the irony of my post. Why look for the difficult option when the obvious one is probably the answer. If a bulb does not work in your house the usual thing is to replace it...not call an electrician to inspect the fuse.

I had the same issue: right turn signal makes rapid blinking sound, but the rear light does not come on at all. I got to the bulb socket and the bulb was not tightly in. It was not burnt out so I just secured it tightly. Fixed.....caution though, don't let the bulb slip into the lens cavity. It is a ***** to get out. I had to use chewed gum at the end of a straw to inch it out. Whatta *****!
