blinker question
 
alright so i did a front end swap to a 01 since i have no clue about wireing and all that is there a way to eliminate the 2nd blinker light?

hmm......I think splicing the extra light wires into the one socket? Try to see if you can just unplug the extra socket. Although, it might think there's a burnt bulb. fast flashes.

make sure you add extra blinker fluid so that it will not flash fast

but adding the extra fluid was only a temporary fix....

but yea just unplugging it make it flash fast didnt wana try splicing it just yet

what about just cutting the extra socket and completing the circut?

I did the same thing (99 to 01-03 swap), there is no bulb in the socket, so my blinkers blink twice as fast and it's really annoying. I didn't know if I should just bridge the extra socket terminals or put a resistor in? How much resistance?

also, if you bridged the wires into one socket, it wouldn't make a difference, would it? there would still be the same resistance as if there were 2 sockets and 1 didn't have a bulb, and it would still blink the same.

Off topic but I work at autozone and I kid you not a blond girl came in the other day seriously asking for blinker fluid I about died laughing.
