RightTurn Signal

I noticed today that if I put on my turn signal that it blinks at 3X the speed of normal. I immediately thought that one of the bulbs must be out but when I checked all the lights and the lights and rear brake lights are fine. The front as well. The problem is also intermittent. I have observed that sometimes when I put the right blinker on, it starts fast and then slows to normal. Any ideas where there may be a bad connection and where I should look?

Whoa, that's a strange problem to have.
I have no idea how to help you, buddy - but here's a bump for you before the post gets buried!

BUMP!

I would pick up a couple of bulbs and try replacing them just to see if one of them is about to go out. I have noticed that if a bulb is about to go this could happen...it did in my Civic one time. Good luck!

It could be a wire that is exposed. So when it grounds out it will blink fast, and when it isn't touching the metal, it is ok..

Loose ground post would be my best bet.
