annoying left signal flasher
ok...when i signal left it blinks faster than usual....looks like a bulb is broken or something..but..i checked all the flashing bulbs and nothing seems out of place....the right flasher works like normal...same if i put the hazards on.....im stomped do left and right flashers work off of individual flasher relays?...or are they on the same circuit

Any fast flashing indicates a change in the resistance of the circuit. So if even if the dash indicator (on the side not working) is bad, it will flash fast.
If all the bulbs really are fine and working, then pull the bulbs out and clean the corrosion off the contacts in the bulb sockets

hmm...when the hazards are on they blink at the normal pace...its only when i signal left that i get the annoying quick flashes...the dash indicator also flashes irregularly but it does work.......i'll try the starter ground first since that's giving me other problems as well.....if that doesnt help i'll check the bulbs and report back

whoa. that's crazy. i have the same problem! my left blinker wasn't working and it turns out if was a post that had come unsoldered on my flasher box in my kick panel. now my emergency flashers both work and flash at regular speed, and so does my right blinker, but my left blinker blinks fast. the lights still blink on left blinker, just fast, so i can't figure it out either. let me know if you find out what the problem is!

I seriously doubt that the starter ground will have any change/help what so ever for this problem. If it was a ground issue, it would happen on both sides, not just one.
