Default Turn Signals Problem

ok this is probably an easy fix. But my turn signals on the corners dont work i tried like 3 different pairs of new bulbs. Fuse is good. On the dash it blinks fast like if the bulbs are missing. The thing that confuse me is the turn signals on the bumpers work. So idk what could cause this?

What year/trim Accord?

Have you checked for 12V at bulb sockets? If 12V is present, then ground fault or faulty bulb/socket.

good luck

I need a little more clarification what is happening. Do all turn signals not work (front left corner, front right corner, rear left, rear right) with the exception at the bumpers? If not, which ones don't work?

On your 1992 Accord, the front corner lights are called "front side marker and turn signal lights/position lights". The front bumper lights are the "front turn signal lights."

There are two different relays: the side marker flasher relay (the side marker flasher relay is built into the integrated control unit; located in under-dash fuse/relay box) and the turn signal/hazard relay (also located in under-dash fuse/relay box).

If every other turn signal work (i.e., front bumper turn signals lights and rear signal lights); but, your front corners don't work and the bulbs are good, it can be a wiring problem leading to or connector problem at the integrated control unit; or even a faulty integrated control unit.

Then it can be a wiring problem leading to or connector problem at the integrated control unit; or even a faulty integrated control unit. The side marker flasher relay is built into the integrated control unit.

One more thing to check, turn the light switch to HEAD (headlight) or PARK, do you notice any difference with the front corner lights when you try the turn signals? Also, leave the light switch to HEAD or PARK, and turn on the hazards, is there any difference? With the light switch turned to HEAD or PARK, the front side markers suppose to flash differently then if the light switch was off.
