Default Fast blinkers

Hello. I've tried to read all the posts and figure this out on my own, but haven't . So here goes. Both my left and right blinkers are very fast. My hazard lights are the correct speed. All bulbs functioning. Volt readout on gauges 13.7 volts. ????

Did you buy the car this way or did it just start happening?

Do you have any LEDs at any of the front or rear locations?

I also want you to have someone verify from outside the car that all the lights are blinking fast or if any are out. I just need this for the left and right turn signals.

visually look at the lights from outside the car and if one is blinking fast and the others are normal then the one blinking fast is the culprit... and if you have installed leds more than likely you will need a hyperflash harness to keep them flashing at the normal speed

No LEDs. Yes I visually checked all lights outside. Bought the car this way.

With no LEDs - I'd be tempted to say that a bulb is burned out - have you checked all the exterior lights for burnouts?

Whenever that happens on mine, its a bad bulb. But, I have had it happen at random and then go away, probably a bad connection and maybe one day I'll check it, but not as long as we are having 100+ days.

You didn't really answer my very specific question. So, when you turn the left signals on all 3 lights blink fast and the same happens when the right signal is used?
