I have a 2007 V6 Mustang and the right-rear flasher is inop.
The other three work. However, I can tell the flashers are blinking faster than in the past.
On past vehicles I would just replace the relay in the fusebox. I guess Ford decided to up-engineer the relay and now I'm not sure what to do. =)
Questions:
Is it a relay or some solid state device?
I went to my Ford dealer and the parts guy said there are four potential relays I could replace. He didn't seem too forthcoming with general information, so here I am looking for some direction.

Any help is appreciated!

Your problem doesn't sound like a relay. It sounds like a bad/shorted bulb. Replace it.

Yeah, I should have replaced the bulb first. I hadn't remembered that the bulb could cause the faster blinking as well as a relay issue. If I am not mistaken.

Thanks for the super speedy reply!
