hey guys, quick question. I tried to make my blinkers blink faster by making the car think that one of the bulbs was out ( swapped side maker with blinker) it worked for like a min while i was testing it now they wont work at all, I dont have any warning lights that they are out. All the other lights work, the bottom blinkers also work except for the side blinkers by the headlamp. Did i mess up a relay? if so where can I find it. the car is a 95 accord sedan ex. BTW the bulbs are still good, I tested new bulbs and they dont work either. thanks

go to auto zone and they have the bulb that you need. it is a new led bulb and will make it blink faster.

check your flashers in the relay box inside your car.

sorry to tell you this, but you may have damage your factory module that controls your parking lights. the '86 accord i had has a module that changes the light next to the headlight to blink alternately with the bumper turn signal light when the parking light circuit is on. i think just about all hondas that have the light next to the headlight have this feature. i tried to find a schematic for your honda but no luck...sorry.

Not a problem sir if its that, i can get factory honda parts very cheap from the dealer. is there a way to check it. Or should i just send it in

i try to avoid the dealer as much as possible when it comes to their repairs ($$$). if you could get a hold of a repair manual like chilton's and look at the electrical diagrams, trace the wire back from the park light in question and see if it goes into a module and you will have the answer. (if it does, then your module is bad) you could ask the parts counter guy about the cost and if the car does have one. (usually, they are very helpful with advise.) if the part is expensive, see if you could find one in a junk yard and ask about their return policy.

well if its bad i'll just look for a car in the back lot of the dealer like mine and swap it lol ( the advantages of workin at a dealer) or if i do buy it i get 40% off
