Try removing all the bulbs and ckean them and the sockets they may not be making good contact..if this doesn't do it..have someone check for a ground in the system..sometimes a ground will overload the flasher itself and close and open quicker due to the ground..good luck.

SOURCE: Left Turn Signal Rapidly Blinks

Sounds to me like a bad ground. When the current can't complete through a ground circit it feeds back through the elements ancd can cause all sorts of wierd syptoms.

The fast blink itself can be casued by a burnt out bulb I would check that first.

Then I would check the trailter harness if there is one and unpluch any harness that may be plugged into it. also check each bulb to see if it is seated well. you may be able to see if there is corrorsionaround the bulb terminals at this time is so yo may need to replace the light assembly. Also you could look for any spot where maybe someone in the past tried to tie into the harness to hook up additional lights etc. this may allo moisture in and corroded to the point the wire is "open"

get out of the car and look at what lights are blinking in the front.

2004 buick lasabre, right side turn signal blinking fast.

Check the front turn signal bulbs. This will affect the resistance in the circuit and cause the working light to flash at a much faster rate.

My rear brake light is not working, nor is my blinker at the back right. When I put the right turn signal on it blinks really fast, faster than normal, and the front blinker works. I have replaced both...

Normally with the blinker blinking really fast, it's telling you that one of the bulb is blown, front or rear signals. Check your fuse, and fuse relay to see if it would fix the promblem

Left turn signal blinks faster than right turn signal blinks

The blinker is made to warn you that one of the bulbs is not working. When it blinks faster than normal one or more bulbs are burned out.

'97 riviera left blinker comes on but does not blink

The left blinker comes on, but does not blink? Either the front or rear bulb on that side is burned out (turn signal filament only). U can swap bulbs from good side to determine which is the bad bulb, or by carefully checking the bulb filament for damage. Let me know if u need more info.
