Turn signal issue?

I know this might be a dumb question, but being as its never happened to me before, im not 100% of what the problem is.

Anywho, so today my left turn signal started blinking super fast when I put it on. I got home and checked, and both my front turn signal and rear brake light bulbs were still illuminated. But when I switch on the turn signal, the rear tailight dosen't blink.

Fuse maybe? I plan on addressing the issue tommorrow over my lunch break.

Fuse problem more than likely. If it's blinking fast and the light is still working, either change both front and rear bulbs or just change the fuse for the turn signal.

the bulbs have 2 filaments in them, the "dim" which is the one you see with your parking lights, and the "bright" which is when your on the brakes or have the turn signals on. just replace the bulb

Yep its dual filament bulb. Just like our headlights the high beams could still work if the lows are out. It works the same way for the taillight bulbs.
