So I’m almost done with my checklist, but there is one major issue standing in my way. My right turn signal.

It blinks slowly yet the one on the left is normal. Any ideas ?

make sure all your bulbs are the same. If the pull different amounts of current, the blink rates may differ.

Better than my blinker issues... If I don't flick the stalk just enough but not too much, it turns on the left turn signal without fail. I need to get it fixed...

Top up your blinker fluid.

Or maybe check the indicator relays. Swap them over, see if the problem switches sides. Ditto the bulbs.

Yup, that'd be my guess also.

If a bulb is out, that side will blink double-time, making the other seem slow. There should be 2 bulbs in the rear - put on your hazards and look from the back to make sure both sides are equally as bright, with and without running lights on.

I replaced a bulb in the front and the rear

It’s still slow, but it’s blinking fast enough to pass safety

Now I just need to get that stud that fell behind the wheel and pop it back in then go through safety.
