Before anybody says anything, all the bulbs work just fine. They are all at their proper brightness and all that's wrong is the driver's side blinks too fast. While I was trying to charge my power cap I accidentally arced the power to ground and since then my driver's side blinker goes too fast. I figure the relay or whatever that checks for broken bulbs got zapped somehow. Only I can't find where that relay is. Can anybody help me? I hate making lefts now because I look stupid...

My guess is that you definitely fried something >>
Something in that circuit is out. The way flashers work is that the require a certain amount of current draw to function. If one bulb or component is out of the loop, the current draw drops, causing the flasher to dither at a faster rate.

I just need to find out WHAT and WHERE that might be, especially since the brightness of the blinkers seem to still be the same...
