Default Weird blinker/turn signal problem.....

Well today I noticed that when I use my right turn signal/blinker, it started to blink very fast. I thought for sure one of my bulbs was out (front or rear) but when I checked they are both blinking fast but they work! The left blinks at its normal rate but the right blinks fast all of a sudden. When I use my hazard lights all lights blink at the same rate though.

Could it be that one of the bulbs is on its way out? I remember though that when a bulb was completely out it would blink fast but that is not the case here. Anyone ever had this experience?

check all your lights, one of them may be out, not necessarily a turn signal

the reason they blink fast when there is a bulb out is bc the circuit isnt drawing as much current, this is also why led bulbs blink fast, bc they run cooler and use less current....i would guess its a bulb issue, swap em out with new ones and see if that helps
