Default fast blinker

Hi all:
ona 95 seville sts, did anyone ever deal with one of the blinkers that would go real fast once in a while, i also noticed that the 2 left rear blinker lights alternate blinking when this happens..............Any clues?
Thanks
Scott

First, check to make sure both front and rear bulbs are working. If so, try checking the ground for each socket. I just had the same problem with my 92 Eldo..........i.e. fast blinker on left turn, and found the front bulb was bad.

As blakoak says it means you have a bad bulb on that side of the car.

Or a corroded socket which causes a poor ground and intermittant operation. The bulbs alternating back and forth mean its seeking a ground thru the other socket. So, remove those 2 bulbs, look at the filiment within as well as the socket. I usually turn on the 4 way flashers while checking the bulbs.
