Most likely a mechanical failure. Either buy a replacement part or ignore/deal with it, unfortunately.

Blinking fast usually means a bulb is out... (or if you have LEDs and haven't changed/modified your flasher).

Maybe it's your flasher unit???

The flasher unit is somewhere behind the dashboard where the instrument cluster is.

You need to remove the kick panel where the gas/brake pedals are which is held by two screws. Move the kick panel to the side, then you're going to have to lie down on your pack with your head down on the floor hear the panels and use your hands to reach up to the turn signal flasher which is secured to a metal like post.
