Default All 4 Turn Signals Flashing Faster than Normal

All 4 turn signals flash very fast when activated for turning. However, when I apply my emergency flasher, they function properly. It started out with my right front signal flashing too fast. Then the left front started. Then both rear turn signals followed. Your replies are appreciated.

Sounds like you got a bulb out. Take the bulb out thats blown get the number off it go on ebay and get the LED version of it. It will cost a little more than a normal bulb but it will be brighter look better and last years longer.

^^ I don't think it's a bulb problem at all if one bulb after the other is showing the fast flashing behavior. It sounds like something more inside the electrical system needs to be checked out like the fuses and wiring for the turn signals. However it may get complicated to try to trace the source of the problem, so you may want to consider bringing the car in to service for a check-up.

It's weird, because I had my corners cleared (self task), then my left signal was faster than my right, but it only did it for a week, all bulbs were not dead, then the week after, everything was normal.

Theres gotta be something in the wiring, Id say where the wire goes into the plastic piece that connects to the light would be the best spot to start.. just turn the signal on and pop the hood and wiggle the wires see if it does it then stops or what.. just dont burn yourself..

My sisters car had the same problem but only the right side went faster. Fixed it by cleaning the connection between the wires going into the front bulbs.
