Default Turn Signal won't blink normal speed?

I can't figure this out. When I first bought my car, my left turn signal was blinking quickly, so I replace the "hyperwhite" to the normal amber color. Thinking that I fixed the quick blinking problem I drove around till, I noticed that I didn't fix anything. I checked the back turn signals and they work fine. My friend told me that one of my reverse lights were out, so I replaced both of those too. I can't see to figure out why my front left turn signal won't blink its normal speed. Anyone with ideas, thanks in advance.

either the bulb is going bad or one of your wires got separated

Sometimes people will change the relay out to actually make them blink faster.

i just took mine apart, spliced the wire onto itself (i dont have a soldering gun) and now have hte exact same problem!!!! wtf...............
turn signal works in rear, bulb isnt burnt out (turns on with all lights on) on the left side! i think mine might possibly be because of my twisted connection.........dunno how it would affect voltage that much that the relay would think the bulb is dead, but eh...........****!!! any help?

replace the bulb. 1 of the wire inside the bulb is bad.

That's it. You have a dead bulb somewhere and the one blinking fast is doing that because it has more power going to it, rather than stopping at a point in the circuit where the non working bulb is.

off topic, where would you guys disconnect power to fog lamps, if one of them were dead and one working and u didnt want them on? the guy i bought my car from disconnected them because one of them didnt work, (dont ask why he didnt just pay 4.99$ for a new one, i dont know!)

if the bulb that is up front has one filament inside, thats your problem, i believe you need a dual filament bulb, one for the parking lights, and one for the blinker.

It means your bulb is blown.

either bad buld somwhere or another. or it could be the ground. if the ground is not good or if there is none it will blink fast.

Wow, thanks for not reading my post. Anyways I think it might be the stalk, cus sometimes if I click it down to make a left turn a certain way, it will blink at normal speed. other times it will blink fast. I'm gonna let it be.

im kinda havin the same prob, the dude who had the car before me had clear corners and he had these diff bulbs that were not ment for a honda... so i take out the shitty bulbs and corners.. put it all stock, left blinks quicker then right.. since he had the wrong bulbs in do you think the relay got fried?
