turn signal relay?

Right blinker blinks like a strobe light, really fast. Left blinker normal.

Check your bulbs and sockets. It could have some corrosion, that has built up in one or the other or both. You can try substitutina a different bulb one at a time. It's possibly that the turn signal relay is flakey too!

Most likely you have lost either the front or rear turn signal bulb. The relay is designed to fast flash if it does not sense the current of 2 bulbs.

Bad or disconnected bulb means faster blinking.

turn signal relay?

No experience yet, but gonna look into a post on here (post #5) about replacing the capasitor in the relay. Mine blinks double speed with all bulbs in. When I loose one bulb it strobes. So I have something more than a bulb out.
