HELP!!! Signal Lights flash fast but only rears work!!!

Okay, I'm totally stumped. My signal lights are going off extremely fast, and when I got out of the car only the rear ones were going off. I went to autozone and got the front bulbs replaced but to no avail. It still rapidly flashed and only the rears worked. Both the fronts were doing nothing. I don't even know where to begin. I just got a new front bumper painted and installed, and I fear I won't be able to afford whoever charges me whatever. HEEEEEELPPPP!!

Pop out the front ones and make sure that there isn't a break in the wire anywhere.

The fast flashing is because the bulbs are burnt out. If the bulbs have been replaced, that means they aren't connected properly. Make sure that the wiring is good, and the bulb is seated properly in the connector.

You answered your own question! Check for an unplugged/cut turn signal harness behind the front bumper!!! It will have the same effect as a bad bulb.
