Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Suburban 1500 owners report experiencing fast blinking turn signals specifically when the brakes are applied. This issue is often attributed to a malfunctioning brake light bulb, particularly if it has burned out. Additionally, electrical connection problems within the indicator stalk switch may contribute to the rapid blinking. Other potential causes include faulty wiring, burnt-out light bulbs, or the use of incompatible custom headlights. Some users have noted that the blinking only occurs while the brake pedal is pressed and ceases once the brake is released and the vehicle warms up. It is advisable for owners to check the functionality of the brake lights when the turn signal is activated to identify any potential short circuits.
