Weird Problem with my blinkers

How fast should factory turn signals go at?

If I turn the signals to the right, its a nice slow blink, now my problem is when it goes left, it goes speedy motor and blinks really fast. Hazzards, they blink the same speed as the right turn signal.

What causes this?

Bad bulb or bad bulb socket, or a short in the wiring.

But probably a bad bulb

This blinking fast to indicate a short or bad turn signal bulb has been pretty much a standard feature since the 80's on most japanese cars...

Funny that we got 3 posts on this same thing within the last 72 hours.

Wait, before you jump to conclusions and start checking the wiring, have you verified that your turn signal fluid is at least above the "low" mark for the left turn signals?
