Question
My left turn signal started flashing to fast the other day.  I have checked all the bulbs on the left side of car and all are working.  Any ideas what could be wrong?
Thanks

Answer
It is possible that the Flasher Unit is on its way out. The Vehicle Owner's Manual should tell you where the one for the Turn Signals can be found on your car. The other possibilty, would be a Light Socket that's shorting, causing a high current draw, which would cause the Flasher to cycle more frequently.
