My 2008 Nissan Altima had a rapidly flashing right front turn signal. I assumed it was a bulb, but bulb was fine (i went ahead and put a new one in anyway). still flashing rapidly. i’m reading it could be a relay. Under hood fuse box schmatic shows “H” relay contols that but I’m seeing conflicting info on relay. Am I right about relay or could it be something else. If a relay, which one location of it. Thanks guys

Sounds like your front maybe flashing possibly due to the rear not working at all..

Replace all burned out bulbs and see what happens…

Try a different (spare) key fob to see if it starts normal, and or replace the battery (battery plus does it if you can not) in your fob to see if it helps…
