the one blinking twice as fast is burnt out. less resistance in the circuit causes current to flow faster. new bulb is the fix.

Not always as simple as that. And, in fact, your system uses a bi-metallic strip inside the flasher. The more current, the further the bi-metallic strip bends and the longer it takes to return so the flash is slower. Burned out lamps reduce current draw and increase the flash rate. But you say your lamps are good.

Some basic checks will help you locate the fault area: Are there repeaters on the side and are they working. What happens when you brake or have the car lights on while indicationg, do the symptoms change. What happens when you put the hazards on.

Some lamps are double filament and can be forced in the wrong way round, and into a single filament socket. In addition, a bad ground connection will cause all sorts of odd effects. The fault is more likely to be at the back; more can go wrong in the cluster. Check both bulbs are the right type. Swap the bulbs over and see if the fault moves. If it does the bulb is faulty. If not, it is the holder/wiring.

Later models use an electronic flasher relay where, apart from a "hiccup" short first flash and dashboard indication, the working lamps will continue to flash at the correct rate.

What is causing 1997 Accord to not signal?

My 1997 Honda Accord was crashed into a snow bank, broke front left turn signal light(Bulb+assembly). Soon after the crash, the rear left turn signal began blinking rapidly. Several days after, the whole turn signal system shut down (all four blinkers stopped blinking). I replaced the bulb+assembly for the left, turn signal switch, and turn signal relay and checked the fuses. The hazard lights work, but the turn signals don't. I did everything I could replacing parts. Does anyone know what is wrong with my accord?

One of the front blinker bulbs is burnt out. Replace the bad bulb and the blink should function normaly. you have a front right turn signal bulb that is burned out. the resone it blinks fast is there is less load on the flasher .

Why does my 2003 Sunfire left rear signal not work but the front blinks VERY fast?

Your left rear signal bulb is burnt out. Both signal bulbs work on a single circuit, so when one goes bad the other receives enough voltage for both, causing to front to blink at least twice as fast. Change the bulb, everything else will repair itself

What is code 700 on a 1997 Honda Civic?

I really need to know how you read a 700... i have never heard of it and cannot find it. if your check engine light shines a long signal that represents a 10, if it is short blinks they represent 1. you take your long blinks and add your short blinks. example two long blinks and three shorts is a code 23.
