Hyundai mechanics?
Picked up a 07 Santa fe for a daily driver and I've never owned one so curious if there are Hyundai mechanics besides the dealership?
I've trying to determine why my drivers side front turn signal flickers fast and not as bright as the passenger. Yes, I have replaced the bulb and it hasn't helped

Did you check the fuses?
Were the bulbs replaced with the right ones?

Corrosion on a ground.
Could be in the bulb connection point or a ground wire on the circuit.

Hyundais aren't exactly complicated specialty cars so I really don't think you need a Hyundai-specific mechanic for this; just someone who knows how to interpret electrical readings. Probably an open ground or something simple.Originally Posted by jabjab

Compare resistances between the new bulb and the one on the opposite side and at least rule that out. Second, check the rear and make sure there are no bulbs burnt out there too.

Just figured it out. Did some research and apparently it happens frequently enough with dealerships and mechanics telling people to get a new headlight.
What I did was bend a connector inside the housing so that it makes more contact with the bulb housing and cleaned the crap out of the other connectors. It now works! Love fixing things by myself.

Get a new headlight. LOL
That's the dealership for you... just part replacers, not actual mechanic work done.
Glad you fixed it. It's almost always corrosion on the connection points.
