One blinker blinks faster

[5Toes]

So the other day while driving, my right blinker started acting up, and its driving me nuts

The right blinker blinks twice as fast as my left one. Left blinker blinks fine.

Outside the car, both sides of blinkers blink same speed as they do on guages panel. Though, my front passenger side blinker seems to be dimmer than the other..

My emergency flashers both blink same speed.

Any thoughts? Its driving me mad

Time to replace the bulb.

blinkers that are acting abnormal as in blinking faster than noramal usually has to do with with bad grounds. Go back over the connections and see if any are fraying or come loose.

Here, let's get fancy though,

Current runs through whatever circuit is lighting the turn signal. As the current flows through, it heats the fuse to some "critical" temperature, which then clicks the circuit off. After a quick second of time, the switch closes again and the process is repeated.. blink... blink... blink...
When one bulb is out, more current is flowing through only one of the paths, thus blinking faster.. blink,blink,blink,blink

Corrosion on the bulb socket. Clean it up with some sand paper. Done.

Change the bulb out!

Change the bulb out!

I think that's a no brainer. If that doesn't work you would then move on to cleaning sockets and then looking closer at your connectors and grounds.

Okay. Yay now to learn how to change a blinker. Might as well do both while I am at it

High resistance in the blinker circuit. Be it a blown bulb or dirty contacts.
