Default Fast Blinking Left Turn Signal

A week ago my left turn signal started to intermittently started to blink twice as faston my C5. Now, it blinks twice as fast ALL the time. Thinking, that it was a bulb problem, I replaced ALL the bulbs, including the drl's. What else could it be??????? Please do not say it's a bulb, because it is NOT at this point!!!!!!!!!!! Any real suggestions would be GREATLY appeciated...........

I had a problem with my right turn signal and the bulb was good. I found the right front socket was corroded and dirty. I cleaned it out real good put some bulb grease on the bulb reinstalled and no more problem. Check the sockets out on your left side. I bet there not making a good contact.

Just an FYI the front turn signal/DRL assys. will crack the top above the bulbs because the DRLs are always on. This is how water gets in and corrodes the sockets. I had to take out the whole RF side and repaired the top with an epoxy kit. I'm thinking of gettings LEDs so this doesn't happen again.

I had this issue shorty after changing my front bulbs, it turns out I didn't have the bulb in the socket all the way. It will make a snap or click sound when it seated properly ...... hope that helps
