About a month ago my blinkers started acting funny. They would work, but sometimes they would be at double speed. Now the left blinker is like that 100% of the time, but the right blinker is almost always normal. Anybody else seen this behavior or know what might be wrong??? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!

One of your bulbs on your left side is burned out.

Put the blinker on and walk around the car and have a look

seriously it's a common problem, the connects inside the blinker assembly are having bad contacts, last time i looked turn signal piece was only 24.95 from Ford, cheap replacement parts to solve the problem.

From personal experience it sounds like there is too much blinker fluid because it's going at different rates. Just my opinion though
