Rapid flasher
 
Does anybody know why our right turn signal would flash real fast? It started today and I checked to see if all the lights are working and they are. Now I am stumped. The left blinks normal .

something Is out, check ALL lights, not just turn signals

I love my A32

Something's out or ready to go out

typically that means a bulb is out and the relay is flashing faster.

As others have said, you have a bulb out. The system is designed to rapid flash when the draw is reduced by a bulb not working. All modern cars do that.

You either have a bulb out or your have an LED bulb installed with a failing resistor.

In addition to the other suggestions, I have heard that sometimes a rapid flash will be the result of a dirty/corroded connection at either the base of the bulb or the socket.

OK.... I checked all the lights and they are working. The next day the thing started acting normal. No problems since. Spooky huh

definitely a loose bulb or socket would cause to blink too fast when you hit a bump probably corrected that. now that blinker fluid I see on the post, was that a joke or really an actual product, I was like what the heck is a blinker fluid??
