Blinky Blinker
Has anyone had this problem?
When I turn on my left turn signal, I often get an error message on my instrument cluster that says something like "Check left turn signal bulb" and the audible blinker and left arrow signal on the cluster go into double-time. When I check my left front, mirror, and rear turn signals they are all blinking just fine--normal speed and bulbs appear OK. It seems to be the blinker mechanism inside the car, but I do not know how this is wired and why the outside signals operate normally. What is the problem and solution, please?
