Right blinker is suddenly on crack....
I have a 2006 HHR and today the right blinker just started going at full speed whenever I use it. I need to bring it in for its regular maintenance anyways but I am just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and possibly knows what might be wrong.

What does going full speed mean?

Maybe a bulb has failed, and the blinker is flashing like mad as they do when the bulb goes. First thing I'd do is a walk around to see if there is a bulb out on that side, either front or rear.

I agree with what you said
Exactly!!...and I checked the bulb. It works, and it is blinking just as fast as the sound is blinking. So yeah....the right side is going:

blink.blink.blink!!!

and the left:

blink...blink...blink...

(oh and I am a *she*...hence the gay sounding name LOL)

Yes!! Ok those who mentioned the bulbs...you are right....I just checked and the front right blinker is out. I had no idea that's what it does to let me know. Ok thanks!
