Hi i didnt get an answer searching in the web and I dont have a similar firebird near here to check it,
so I am asking here.

I used to own a base 95 firebird and the Turn Signals were flashing quite slow,
(it was an European export modell, used to live in Europe)
Now I got a 96 Trans Am here in the USA and the turn signal flashes quite fast in compare to my prior car. other cars are also slower.... if I compare.
the bulbs are working from outside check,
but like i said it is for my feeling wey too fast??

can this be a hint for a defective part or is this normal speed for turn signals???
got a 96 Trans Am formula WS6

I was always under the impression that a fast-flashing signal was either the sign of a burnt out bulb, which you checked, or it was a sign that the flasher was going bad. Replace it and see what happens. If that doesn't fix it, try a couple different bands. They're not that expensive.

possible bad bulb/s, or maybe the flasher is going bad.. its under the drivers side dash..

i checked today again.
all bulbs are working.
i found out that the fast blinking is only with the engine running!!
with the engine off, ignition on, the turn lights are workin in normal speed!
