Default Questions regarding EF turn signals. . .

I make a couple quick animations to help with my question. . .

Ok, when I bought my Crx, the turn signals flash in sequence, like in (A). Lately, however, sometimes when I use the signals, they flash together, like in (B).

(A)


(B)



Ok, so I KNOW I have a short somewhere, but here are my questions: Do the stock lights flash sequentially like in (A)? Or did the previous owner put a rice racer relay in there to make it do that? And if they were stock like that. . .how can I re-wire it so that they flash together like in (B)?

Thanks guys!

mine does both too, but... i notice that one always blinks faster than the other, so if i sit and watch them blink, theyll be blinking together, then maybe 5 secs later, itll be in sequence, then 5 secs more, and itll be back to blinking together..

they blink together like in B when the headlight/parking lights are off.
they blink intermittently like in A when the headlight/parking lights are on.

No way! I just went outside and checked, and you are totally right! That's weird! hehehe. Thanks for the quick replies guys!

Is there any ways I can make it always be one way all the time?(preferably blinking together) It's kinda funky to have it blink 2 different ways.
