Turn Signals and Plug Wires

My turn signals have been doing something kinda odd lately. Sometimes they will blink fast, like a warning that a bulb is about to go, then itll stop for about a few days and start again. this problem has been happening on and off for a few months now. Not one of my turn lights has burnt out this entire time either. could it be doing this because of a bad turn signal fuse or a bad ground somewhere?? Also, im about to buy the ford racing 9mm wires. what are ya'lls take on these and is there better for cheaper or about the same price?

if you have a trailer light hook up in the back check those wires out and make sure their not shorted out or grounding out. as for the plug wires i would go with a set of 8 mm accels.

Not a feature on pre-'97 trucks. That function requires an LCM. On these, a fast blink is caused by excessive current draw (too many bulbs/too powerful bulbs/short to ground).
