Hey thanks all for the burned out bulb info when the flasher is going fast. Here's what it's turned out to be- Took off both front turn signal housings to find that they were both about 3/4 filled with water!! Amazing they were working at all. Both sockets where the wires connect are completely rusted and corroded. The one that is still working has a completely corroded wire and connector broken off! Anyway...I'll be looking for these replacement sockets at the dealer next weekend. In the meantime, check yours and make sure they are not filled with water too...Maybe you'll catch it in time. Keep Vanagoning! Tony

PS...Any list vendors have these replacements? I need just the sockets, but will take the whole housing for both sides if you've got em...THANKS
