[V6-12v] blink-blink-blink vs blinkblinkblink

[Tom Christiansen]

Martin,

<sarcasm>Welcome to the World of American Hardware Numbers. Everything in the store has some random number assigned to it. Some times the number is indicative of the size (a #4 screw is smaller than a #12 screw), sometimes the number is inversely proportional to the size (a 0 AWG wire is significantly bigger than a 30 AWG wire). In other cases, it's really just a random number (probably invented by the US military to confuse the enemy). Light bulbs for example. All patriotic American light bulbs have numbers. </sarcasm>
316 (if I recall the number correctly) commonly used for dome lights and that sort of stuff. Apparently, the 1034 is a dual-filament bulb for brake light/turn signal.

To the original poster: Check to see if the bulb is installed correctly. Many of the dual filament bulbs are keyed so they can't be installed incorrectly, but some aren't. If you install the bulb the wrong way, you'll get fast blinking, bright turn signals and really dim brake lights. Not a desirable combination.
