Unhappy Front left bulb is on but not blinking, NEED HELP!!!! PLEASE

Ok, my front left blinker bulb is on but not blinking. It's not the bulb problem I guess. When I turn the left signal, the whole left turn signal blinks FAST ( like a ricer's car ). How do you fix this, I've searched all around.

Does the left rear blink?

If that doesn't, then check the manual and figure out which Fuse has blown. Left and right are on two different fuses

when it blinks fast that means a bulb is out, so like akielb said check the rear.

and if its on, you might have the parking lights on,

have you switched bulbs yet to make sure its not just burned out? there are two filaments inside the bulb so the blinking one might just be burned out. happened to me the opposite way, it was blinking but wouldnt turn on constantly, that was the problem

yeah usually when it blinks fast like that, one of the bulbs on that side is burned out. no sense in replacing all of them, just figure out which one is blown up and replace it.

They are dual-filament bulbs in the front, so the parking lights can still work but not the blinker.

Ya its just a bulb. Unless you have a corroded terminal but I doubt it. If neither blinked at all it would be the relay. Which mine did last week but fixed itself
