Unhappy Turn Signal Issue

hey guys, today after driving around for about 30 mins, i noticed my left turn signal started blinking really fast, so i pulled over and the front bulb wasnt working, i figured the bulb blew. But then 5 mins later it started working again,

any ideas of what the problem could be? if the bulb is blown it wouldnt work period correct? could it be a fuse? if so which ? thanks

It's likely the bulb is loose in its holder. The rear bulbs are easy to get to ... the front ones require you to remove the front wheel and some of the fender liner.

Blown bulbs can fix themselves - the broken ends of the filament touch and "weld" themselves together ... for a short while.

A blown fuse would mean no lights at all so neither the front nor back left or right would blink.

ETA: Get to that thing fast if its the front bulb, you do not what that thing falling out and into the front light assembly.

You can reach the left front turn signal bulb by turning the wheel all the way to the right and opening the wheel well.
