Default Turn signal started blinking fast

On my 94 accord the left turn signal has started blinking very fast. The right signal blinks just like it always has. I thought maybe a bulb was burned out but checked this morning and all bulbs are blinking. What could be causing this?

If not a bulb out, it would have to be a flasher, but I would check the wiring diagram to see if there is another bulb that could have gone out in between.

check the ground pack under the hood, make sure it has a good contact to the chasis. I had similar issue on my 91 CB7

The "flasher" is part of the ICU in the fuse box, I ask everyone to think of how many ICU's have been replaced on a 5th gen because one side blinks faster than the other.

For the left/drivers front lights, G301 is a common ground for the front side marker and the front turn signal lights.

I've been wrong before and will be again...but you would be the first person I know of that has to replace the ICU because one side blinks faster than the other.

Please let us know what it turns out to be.

After rechecking I found that a bulb was out. I swear that the first time I checked it was blinking. After replacing the bulb it was normal again.Thanks for the replies.

Good to hear....I've been there before. What I do now is wait until it is dark outside to look for things like this as I'm getting too old and seeing lights when the sun is shinning is getting harder for me
