    My turn signal blinks fast and I get the message on the display that says "front right turn signal out" on the display but then it starts to work again minutes later. Has anyone experienced this issue?

    Try removing the bulb and cleaning the contacts in the base. Might just be some corrosion in there.

    I'd change the bulb anyway since that sounds flakey, clean the contacts and use dielectric grease. Pretty sure the turn signals are computer controlled. When my front left burned out and I got that message, it STILL flashed fast even with a new bulb in, until I turn off the car and restarted it.

    I plan to change the bulb, clean the contacts, and use some dielectric grease but in case that doesn't work do you know a part number for the DRL module? Are you referring to a fuse?

    Scott G.. what year/model do you have? You likely don't have a DRL module in the car, if it's the year I think it is.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
