I have a 1994 ES300 with a turn signal problem. The turn signal flashes very rapidly. I have changed all the bulbs and changed the flasher, but nothing has worked. Any other ideas for me to try? Thank you.

I did what you said and it didn't work right away. But when I screwed the Bulb back into the socket I didn't tighten it as much and now it works fine. Thanks for the assistance.

This is a frequently seen problem with the first and second generation ES, and my wife's old 97 had the same disease about every 6 months. Its left front turn signal bulb socket turned out to be the culprit. By simply removing that bulb, reaching into the bulb socket with a dental pick (thin needle nosed pliers would have worked as well I think) and stretching the electrical contacts towards the bulb contacts would fix the high flash rate. Apparently over time these contacts, which are really metal strips bent into an "S" shape, would lose their spring and would provide a poor contact with the bulb, raising the circuit resistance, and thereby speeding up the flasher on that side of the car. If after you've tried this same fix on your car (maybe do all 4 bulb sockets?), and it doesn't correct the problem, I would suggest that you'll need to troubleshoot the entire signal circuit and find out where you have a poor connection due to corrosion or such. Good Luck!

I will try that this week. It's nice to know that someone else has had a similar problem. I'll let you know how I come out next week. Thanks.

I have a 1997 ES300 and I have numerous dashboard indicator lights that are always on even though there is no problem. My Reverse light is alway on even when I have the transmission in Park or Drive, or Nuetral. My check engine light is always on and there is nothing wrong. My parking brake light is always on and the parking brake is not engaged. My rear tail light out light is always on and my tail lights all work. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Sometime when I shift some items in my truck the lights go back to working normally. Any ideas on how to get my dashboard indicator lights back working correctly? Thanks.
