Default test soon and i got a problem

Hey guys, and gals. Having trouble with my LHS indicators. At first the rear globe was blown and that side would flash rapidly when indicating left to aware you the globe was blown. I have replaced the globe with what I had laying around, but it still flashes rapidly?? I was told the globe I used may be a too low wattage and therefor it still thinks it has a blown globe due to the lack of current being drawn to that side? I'm going for my license test very soon and really want to get this working. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Have you checked the wattage on the bulb you put in? Its very possible its too low of draw and that is your issue. Whoever told you that is more than likely correct.

Check to see what if it matches the bulb you pulled out.

Did you check to make sure your front is ok too?

If you want to verify whether it is the new bulb that is causing the rapid flashing swap it with the working bulb on the right side and see if the problem follows the bulb.
