Why is my Subaru blinker blinking fast?

Why is my Subaru blinker blinking fast?
If your Subaru blinker is blinking fast, there are a few possible reasons for this issue. Here are some common causes:
1. Burned-out bulb: A fast-blinking turn signal usually indicates that a turn-signal bulb is burned out on that side. When a bulb burns out, it changes the resistance in the electric circuit, causing the turn-signal flasher unit to turn the lights on and off at a faster pace.
2. Wrong type of signal bulb: If you recently changed the light bulb and noticed that the turn signal is blinking fast, it’s possible that you installed the wrong type of bulb. Using a bulb that gives off too much extra lighting can cause the blinker to blink quickly.
3. Bad grounds: Another possible cause is a bad ground connection. You can check for bad grounds by tracing the ground wire to the termination point from the bulb housing. If the connection is loose or the wire is damaged, you should retighten or change the wire immediately.
4. Turn signal relay: In some cases, the turn signal relay may be the culprit. The turn signal relay is responsible for controlling the blink interval. If the relay is faulty, it can cause the turn signal to blink faster than normal. You can replace the turn signal relay to fix this issue.
It’s important to note that these are general causes of fast-blinking turn signals and may not be specific to Subaru vehicles. If you’re experiencing this issue with your Subaru, it’s recommended to consult the vehicle’s manual or reach out to a qualified mechanic for further assistance.
