Default Crazy Turn Signal

Yesterday, I noticed that my right turn signal indicator was going 90 miles an hour. My past experience told me that I probably had a bulb burned out. Not the case. The turn signals work, just flash much faster. Brake light is OK on that side too. Left turn signal indicator is normal. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

if it is not a bulb it may be a connection to a bulb (the socket itself it the most likely area to find this) that has become corroded, causing the resistance of the circuit to increase. The front assembly would be the most likely one to have this problem as the DRLs like to melt holes in the top of the housing allowing water into the assembly.

As the member formerly known as Stock Man would say, that's my .02...

You're not running a different type of bulb on that side are you? Like maybe an LED? If the voltage doesn't read back within the expected range, it'll flash rapidly.

Thanks for being kind.
