Default Right blinker suddenly blinking fast

My right turn signal blinker suddenly started blinking really fast the other day. The left blinker still blinks at the same speed.

Anyone have any idea what problem this is indicative of?

Probably one of the bulbs on the left side is burned out.

Probably one of the front or back turn signal bulbs on the left side is burned out.

I think JoeB427 means ..

one of your right turn signal bulb is blown. Have a helper see if it is the front or the rear.

Thanks guys. Seems like it was a dumb question now. Never experienced that before though.

My right rear blinker bulb looks to be burned out. Gonna stop by O'Rielly auto parts in the next day or so.

Thank you.

Did everything this thread said. Replaced bulbs and checked contacts. Found a new item. 1994 Lexus bulb contacts use a thin 3 wire trace between electrical plug and turn bulb. My trace was dirty. Used a screw driver and lightly scraped the copper surfaces. Fast blinking fixed.
