    My 355 just started to exhibit a weird behavior. Whenever I depress the turn signal indicator for a left turn, the speed of the blinking has sped up by a factor of 3. The right turn signal indicator is unaffected - it still blinks at the normal speed.

    Any thoughts?

    A bulb has blown. Have somebody check your front & rear left lights when the blinker is running.

    Yup.

    Just needs changing the bulb. If it's the bulb in the rear, GOOD LUCK is all I have to say. Sometimes you just wanna smack the guys who thought of assembling the car and forgetting accesibility!

    ?? Took me about a minute..access in the rear is all open in my 97 355..and I just had a loose connection that need a jiggle...bulb change would have just been another minute if that. It's the front FOG lights that are a pain...if you don't have a lift. Need to remove the bottom panel which is about, what, 3 inches off the deck? But it was a loose conncetion there too.

    It wasn't actually the bulb after all - it was the contact to the bulb that had blackened up. I just took a pencil eraser to the contact and all is well again.

    And getting the bulb assembly out was a no-brainer. Took me all of a minute.

    Thanks for the help!
