When I first start the car… I get this warning. ![http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs265.snc1/9228_681512671138_15700073_39372051_4496249_n.jpg](http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs265.snc1/9228_681512671138_15700073_39372051_4496249_n.jpg) Obviously a light is out. so I check all the lights and its fine. The left blinker however… blinks fast for a few seconds then the warning goes out. The light works. I’m just not sure how what else to check at this point, it works after a few fast blinks (about 3 or 4 seconds worth) and its back to normal ---

It’s actually a picture of a Yellow Jacket Bee, you must have one stuck on your blinker. ---

could be a short that clears up…(a connection starting to deteriorate.) edit: i’ve had this happen before. the wires or connections are starting to erode and work occasionally, causing irregular functionality of lights. just a thought. ---

Yea that’s the only thing I can think of. But I can just literally shut the car off and turn it back on and it does the same thing. Idk I’ll change the bulb and see what happens ---
