Re: Blinking side marker lights

["Jim Reeve" <ultra@xxxx>]

Toby, I would remove, and re-seat the front turn signal bulb. In 
Spring 2001 I encountered a condion where both the front and rear 
lights were working, but it was blinking fast. It turned out that 
the front bulb was seated such that it was the lower power filament 
which was being turned on by the turn signal. The lower power draw 
from this was enough to trigger the "bulb out" blink.

On a side note, I performed this blinking front marker mod last fall 
and I love it. GREAT thinking for whomever first came up with the 
idea.
