I know my neighbor had the same issue with there Expedition.....can't remember what it was....

Like Tony said, the RR bulb could be out. Also, the RF bulb could be incorrect.

Typically when the blinker flashes really fast, that is an indication that you've got a burned out bulb. If you've changed both the front and rear bulbs and still get nothing, than it might be time to looked for shorted out wires or broken wire.

Exactly what sleeve said, I'm pretty sure Chrysler vehicles are designed to blink fast when a bulb is burnt. I'd check them all first...

 

[liberty84]

I checked every bulb and fuse , there's no relay for that and everythin is fine, like I said it works fine with the lights as a parking like but when I click the signal on it just stays lit and it will blink real fast in the dash, I even checked the the reverse lights

could it be the switch itself?

Did you check the flasher under the dash/near fuse box?

I think that was the issue with the neighbor's Expedition....

sounds about right, either bad bulb/connection or bad flasher.

 

[liberty84]

Did you check the flasher under the dash/near fuse box?

no, i dunno what u talking about, is it a bulb? under the dash lower left side right?

let me look into it, i just finished putting on the D-rings on the front

 

[liberty84]

He means the thing you hear clicking under the dash when you have turnsignal on. It's like a little box.

Just a thought: do you have a rear hitch? Check the connector for water or mud or corrosion around the wires.

no. no rear hitch......yet
I'm gonna look into that little box when I get home and if not ill probably buy the switch, I just wanna make sure first

Like Tony said....that clicking noise when signaling is the flasher unit. Turn on the signal light and listen for the sound of the flasher and home in on it under the dash, once you grab it and feel it clicking in your hand you know you have the right one, as there is also a separate flasher for the 4 ways too. Go to your neighborhood auto parts store and get a replacement, and your done.

Blinker fluid low?

I'm sorry, that was not really helpful, but could not resist...

Parking light doesn't matter, it's a dual filament bulb.
