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

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

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
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 *****!
