I have an 02 explorer. My left turn signal is flashing like a madman. Any suggestions on fixing it? I'm a girl so go easy on me - I want to fix it myself...

well wild horse is a moron for being a ASE ford tech here is what to do step by step its real easy almost everyone is right u have a bad bulb but u cant just turn on the left and check for a bad bulb if u dont know what should light up when the turn signals are on so TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS it will engage all lights that are supposed to flash then compare the right side to the left side to determine if its front or rear of the vehicle then take it to an autozone tell them what u need they will install the bulb for free usually, hope this helps

If it is flashing fast, that probably means one of your turn signal bulbs is burnt out. Start your Explorer's engine and turn on the right turn signal. Step out and note where all the flashers are flashing. Then turn on your left turn signal and look for the one that is not flashing. That is the bulb you must change. It should be pretty easy to take apart the signal and change the bulb.
Good hunting!

another one of your left turn signal bulbs is probably bad put on your turnsignal and see if they all light up if one of your turnsignal bulbs dont work replace it it should take care of the problem if not you have a flasher unit it is a small round deal bout the size of a quarter it should be located in with your fuses that is for your flashers might have to replace it but try the bulbs first

one of the bulbs could be blown out turn your signal on and check if both signals are blinking if one of them is not working all you have to do is replace the blown bulb if its not a bulb it could be in the wiring then you should take it to a mechanic

Quick flashing is usually built-in indicator that a light is blown. Turn it on, get out, and see if a bulb is out.

it can be
1. your rear left light is fused( fwd then you would have found out)
2. battery is down ( press your horn and see)
3.if not either, capacitor is down.( take to a mechanic)
