Default Blinking turn signal problem

Hello everybody

I do my story short but I got a corvette C5 convertible few weeks ago and somebody hurt the car in the back after 6 days !! My car did go to a body shop and after 4 weeks !!!!!!, I got it back today .....

I am not very happy about the job. The paint is perfect but the bumper is not exactly in line with the both side of the car. The trunk is a little bit down from the bumper (so hard to open it with your finger). The guy said to give the car back next week so we will see.

But I just saw that my turn signal are blinking very fast .... the light are turning on right but very fast. When I push the warning light, the blinking speed is ok. Somebody have an idea ?????

Vincent
PS: Sorry about my mistakes in english (I am french)

IS the problem on one side or both?
Hyper flash can happen for several reasons..
2 of the most common are...
1 a bulb on the affected side is burned out... ie check the front bulbs
2.the previous owner installed LED light bulbs....

I did check today n every single light are working .... again only the turn signal are blinking fast and the warning signal is fine



Is it possible that the body shop did put wrong the connector ? Or do the corvette have more than one bulb for each turn signal ?

I was referring to a problem that I had with one blinker - the socket was corroded.
If you have fast blinking L and R, I have no suggestions.
