How to Fix a Toyota Turn Signal Blinking Fast
If your Toyota turn signal is blinking fast, there are a few possible causes and solutions you can try. Here are some steps you can take to fix the issue:
1. Check for a burned-out bulb: A fast-blinking turn signal usually indicates that a turn-signal bulb is burned out on that side. To check which bulb is out, activate the turn signal for the side blinking faster and walk around the car. If the broken bulb isn’t obvious, flip the turn-signal lever to turn on the other side and check which lights are flashing.
2. Inspect the turn-signal flasher: The same flasher unit handles both sides of the turn signals. If the bulbs are not the issue, it could be a problem with the turn-signal flasher. Consider checking or replacing the flasher unit if necessary.
3. Check the wiring connections: Inspect the wiring connections for any damages or loose connections. Fix or replace any faulty wiring connections that may be causing the fast blinking issue.
4. Clean turn signal components: Clean the turn signal components and the surrounding areas. Sometimes, dirt or corrosion can affect the proper functioning of the turn signal. Cleaning these components may help resolve the issue.
5. Replace the light bulb: If you have identified a burned-out bulb, replace it with a new one. Consult your vehicle’s manual or a trusted automotive technician for the exact specifications of the light bulb.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be best to consult a professional automotive technician for further diagnosis and repair.

Here is where a number of different reasons could be the main cause of the turn signal blinking so quickly.

Why is my blinker blinking fast but both lights work?
Newer vehicles rely on the powertrain control module (PCM) to receive input from the turn signal switch. If your signal lights are blinking faster than normal, it’s likely because of a faulty bulb, incompatible components, or damaged wiring.
Where is the blinker relay switch located?
In most cars, the relay is in a junction box along with other relays. Some vehicle manufacturers label the relay on the fuse box cover to make it easier to identify.
Why is my blinker hyper flashing?
When you turn a bulb on, the filament will generate that resistance, in turn creating heat and light. If a bulb is burned-out, your vehicle can tell that the resistance is low and will begin to hyper flash.
