Left blinker faster in 2024.19.04

[Eric9610]

Has anyone noticed that the left turn blinker is faster than the right in sound and function? The left moves at the speed of the emergency lights.

So after doing some inspections on the car with blinkers on I noticed the Left rear one is out and the light bar is flickering. This is what is causing the in-car indicator to blink rapidly on the display.

at least Rivian comes from the factory with turn signals unlike, based on The COunt's observations of its drivers, Teslas.

Fast or no blinking is generally an indication that a turn signal bulb is out in old-school turn signals. That’s interesting that Rivian either implemented that feature with the new firmware or that you had a hardware failure right around the time of the firmware update.

It's funny, there was a big tizzy on the Tesla forums years ago when they had the sound out of sync from the light itself, and/or from the display screen showing the lights. Much ado about nothing. And with all the jokes about BMW drivers not using turn signals, it was funny that apparently every single Tesla driver uses them and watches/listens to them.

Also the sound in the Tesla was too loud, and in the Rivian, way too quiet. I'm such a whiner.

Anyway I haven't timed mine, but they feel the same just day to day. Have you gotten out to look and see what they actually do outside?

Yes, the blinker leds are out and the light bar section on that side is flickering.

Also when I went to make the service appointment, I was given October 8th. LOL. I assume since its a safety issue they will get me in sooner.

Every GM vehicle from like 2015 ish to 2021 ish was unapologetically out of sync. The indicator on the dash, the sound, and the outside lights were all out of sync with each other by design. Every time I travel for work and rent a suburban (happens quite often) it absolutely DRIVES ME INSANE.

Lol. 100% a deal breaker for me.

On newer models they have "fixed" it. All in sync now, but they're uneven clicks. Instead of an even tick tock tick tock is more of a tock tick (pause) tock tick. Annoying still, but I can deal with that since it's all in sync

OCD? Maybe....

"Dude, the damn Rivians are sooooo good those people are whining about...the damn turn signals!"

Also, if you people suddenly make me notice a "problem" I'm gonna come find you all for a wedgie.

i had this problem last year on a 2022 R1T. Mobile service fixed it. See if you can get them to do a mobile visit

 

[Eric9610]

Mobile service is scheduled and will fix the issue.

When they fixed yours what was the cause of failure? water, software, hardware failure?

Unknown. The module was working for headlight functions. Just wouldn’t do the orange blinker. Looked like hardware failure. Replaced it and all was fine…
