Default Drivers Side Turn Signal REALLY Fast

On my way home from work this evening, I signaled left and the flasher was clicking twice as fast. The rear lights were working but moving faster and the front was not blinking. When I put it in hazad mode it was flashing at normal speed. The passenger side is just fine?

I installed a new stereo well over a month ago and this is the first time it has happened? Where do I begin to look?

Thanks in advance!

Check to make sure that none of your bulbs are burnt out on the side in question.

OK, so now how do you get at it? Go in through the front brake duct - you can maneuver it aside and reach the back of the housing that way. The bulbs can melt holes in the top of the housing - try to check for that while you're in there.

Man I tell you what, I never doubted any of you but it was the bulb! Problem fixed!

The best part was changing it in the garage with the temperature below 30!

Thank you everyone for the help
