rear turn signal out

Had an alarm this morning while changing lanes to check right rear turn signal. I did and the outboard light not blinking but inboard one is, only faster than normal. Has anybody had this? Is it a relay or whole tail light bad?

Did you check the bulb? You do have a 2010, seems it may just be a bulb at this time.

Bulb. When one bulb is out the others may blink weird.

Time to trade for a new Camaro. Yours is obviously falling apart - just kidding, of course.

My 93 Z28 turn signals started blinking faster, all bulbs were working but was the flasher under the dash.

The 4th gen used an electro-mechanical flasher unit, old style, where they have 2-3 prongs and plug into a socket. After time, they go bad and start hyper-blinking or just constantly illuminate the bulb when the blinker stalk is activated.

The 5th gen doesn't have a flasher unit. It's part of one of the electronic modules, and I believe the sound for the blinker (tick tick tick) is programmed and comes out of the driver's door speaker.

OP- Check the bulb. Pull back the trim in the trunk and either the whole taillight can be unscrewed and the bulb replaced, or there will be a plug where the bulb pulls out. The correct replacement bulb type is listed in your owner's manual.

Thanks, was not aware there wasn't a flasher in the 5th Gens. Learn something new every day, even after 4 years of owning.
