Odd Blinker/Electrical Problem.

Hey,

I went to make a left turn out of the parking lot this morning and noticed some strange things with my blinker, and this only happens with the LEFT blinker. First, the audible click tone and instrument panel arrow is 2x as fast as it should be, as well as the front left light blinking 2x as fast. Second, the rear light does not blink at all (blinker or road side distress arrows) which led me to believe it was just a bulb, but I checked again with my brake and they both work.

I tried restarting the car a few times, re-seated the cables in the trunk and checked the fuse box. Nothing seems out of the ordinary. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Replace the bulb, fairly certain the bulbs are multi-filiment so your turn filiment could be burnt out but not your brake filiment. The bulb is about $4
