Default Turn Signal Question

Ok, All light bulb are working properly. Just started a month ago. When using the turn signal, the signal indicater flashes really, really fast. Sometimes faster than other times. No consistency in the speed of flashing. Mater of fact sometimes it will start flashing normally, then speed up. Any ideas?

Possibly a bad connection, failing bulb, or failing flasher. CHange the easiest and cheapest first. Flasher

And register your 71 at http://www.71corvette.com. Or else, nothing will fix it.... :jester

If you haven't already, first check that every other bulb is operational, if I'm not mistaken another dead bulb in the circuit can cause a working one to flash faster.

Edit: damn it, I'm useless. Just noticed you said they're all operational, well 71.454,4spd's advice sounds good to me ;)

Looks like a very nice day here to replace the flasher. Thanks to all for the advice.
