Blinker Issue on 2000 V6

Hey guys, maybe one of you smarter people can solve this for me, Yesterday while I'm driving, I flip on the "right" blinker, and it starts blinking a mile a minute. The "left" still blinks at a normal pace, but the "right" goes twice as fast. It's not a huge deal, but it is kind of annoying, and I don't want this to be the sign of a larger electrical problem.

Second order of business, I'm pretty sure I want to throw side exhaust on the car. Any suggestions? What's cool?

Thanks for the help!

i believe that happens when a bulb is burnt out on that side
spintech has nice side exhaust for a reasonable price

Yes sir..you've got it right. There's a bulb out on the side that blinks fast.

could be your low on blinker fluid LoL

Thanks guys, It is the bulb on that side. Does anyone know how to get at it in a 2000?? I checked the Owner's Manual, and it said, "Take it to your dealer". I'd kinda rather not if I can do it myself, I popped the trunk lining off, and the taillight didn't look that easy to remove. Any help on this?

Thanks

Hey guys, then what does it mean when every once in a while, the above mile a minute blinking occurs (almost exclusively during real cold weather) then returns to normal the next time I use the signal. Is that a sign that the light is failing and will need to be replaced soon?

Doc

That's what it meant for me when I experienced it. The light would flash really fast, and I'd flip it off, flip it back on and boom, normal. It did that for about a month actually before one day it just went out entirely.

Once you have removed the trunk liner, remove the 4 nuts that retain the tail light housing. Then it will pull straight back from the rear.

Thanks for the heads up.

Also don't be fooled if your taillight still works. If even one of the filaments in the bulb is out, your blinker will go faster.

go to autozone and get a Hayes auto repair manual. You can totally f up your car in under 2 hours!!!! LOL

Mine does that too, but now that it is warmer out it has gone away. I just thought the cold and the UD Pulley were playing games with my blinkers, I guess I'll have to check the blinker fluid.

speaking of removing ****...how do you remove the headlights on 99+. I removed the two stake looking thingies behidn the headlight, but it seems as if the parking light is bolted in also or do you just have to pull it out hard. I had to remove my goddam battery to replace the headlight bulb! b/c i didnt want to break anything. Tanks

No problem man

yea just pull out those two pieces of metal then slowly work the headlight back and forth and it will come out. if you pull it hard its liable to come out in force ripping out some wiring or destroying your headlight and youll be
