Rapid Signal Light
All my bulbs work.
Passenger side front and back turn signal lights flash rapidly while the driver side signals blink at the normal pace.
I'm thinking delay fuse but I'm going to need some help locating it if that's the case.
thanks in advance.

you have a broken bulb somewhere and you need to replace it
the reason it flashes fast is because there is an open in the circuit caused by the bad bulb

True, it could be a broken light bulb, but the fact of the matter is that your blinkers are set in a circuit that is regulated by a type A circuit breaker that uses current heat and magnetic induction to open and close the circuit rapidly. when its all working properly the entirety of voltage in that circuit should be used evenly among all its consumers (light bulbs, resistors, outputs and so on) what i think the problem could be is a short to ground through an open wire causing a current increase due to less resistance causing that circuit breaker to operate (open,close,open,close) at an accelerated pace since its passing more current through it than it was designed to. i suggest getting into that circuit with a digital volts ohm meter and compare that ohm reading with the factory spec. be sure to isolate the circuit or you wont get the true reading. One more thing, don't overlook the obvious. first check all the light bulbs in the circuit before spending the time and effort with the DVOM.

Forget the technical gibberish in the middle of this post and look for a burnt out/broken bulb.

It was a half dead (zombie?)bulb after all. The Turn signal bulb in the passenger side of the front bumper was working at times and not working other times, it finally died today (R.I.P) and I'll replace the bulb in the morning. Thanks for the input tho.
