    I'm seeing an intermittent bulb out indicator for the front right. It doesn't appear all the time, and I haven't correlated the indicator with anything else. I discovered that if I put the turn signal on it blinks more quickly than normal, and then the problem clears. Is this some kind of faulty grounding problem?

    Thanks

    Maybe someone will have a specific answer - I'd say pull the bulb, check it, check the fuse for the circuit, visually inspect for signs of corrosion, and maybe check continuity and voltage with a multimeter, for starters.

    Mine do that too.

    Seems to be more common in hot weather. Cleaning contacts on bulbs helps, but does not eliminate the issue.
