blinkers fast blinking

My blinkers are fast blinking. I know this usually means the light is out... but its not. The are blinking both sides three times + times faster than they used to. Thoughts? What would cause this. Plus the passenger side back up light keeps going out. Please help.

It sounds like you might have a short in the system somewhere - the dead short overheats the blinker relay, making it trip/reset faster.


I'd check your bulbs and make sure the connections are all tight.

Change out the flasher relay for an electronic one, if available.

For example: https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Compati.../dp/B06XS8VX2W
