Old Topic - Left Front Turn Signal
My 2001 C5 had the fast flashing turn signal indicator doing it
thing telling me the lamp may be bad. I have learned how to change the lamp but this one gets weird. I pulled the lamp socket from the case and it started flashing. Nothing wrong with the lamp. Put it back in place and close everything and the next day it started flashing again. I am starting to suspect a bad connection or lamp socket and have no idea how you change the wiring harness or how to remove it to be checked |

I am not sure how long this will last and really don't know how to replace the socket. I have my fingers crossed |

The filament is broken, and when you disturb it, the filament welds itself back onto the other side, but it only lasts until you hit a good bump. Replace it---bulbs are cheap !!!
