2003 Explorer Limited
I have a 2003 Ford Explorer Limited and I noticed when I went to drive today, my right signal would strobe fast. Thinking I had a light out, I went and checked both the front and the tail. All running lights seem to be working fine. The only issue I noticed is the right rear tail light doesn't signal, emergency light, or even brake. It does come on though when I turn on my headlights. I had this issue before but it randomly went away. I'd imagine it would be a wiring issue. I just got this car so i'm unsure of where to even begin to look. Car's only got 70k miles :/
Anyone have any ideas?

The high filament in your bulb is burned out while the low filament is fine.

The fast winky seems to be a common method of informing the driver that a bulb is bad on newer cars.

I guess if you consider 1980's+ "newer" lol. That function has been around for a long long time.
 






The front bulb spec is 3157, which is 3 candlepower minor filament, and 32 candlepower major filament.
I suggest using 3357/3457, which is 3 candlepower minor filament, and 40 candlepower major filament.

Short story > brighter blinking for more visibility.
