Blinkers out of sync

All of a sudden my right side turn signal is blinking at twice the speed it used to, but my left side turn signal is normal. Does anyone know how to fix this?

F150 XLT supercab

I don't think it's a burned out bulb

I don't think it's a burned out bulb. The right side indicators are still flashing, just at twice the speed. The affected indicators are the front passenger side exterior, rear passenger side exterior and the interior console indicator. My thought was that it might be a fuse.

This is a 2000 F150 XLT

OK, It's early in the AM, so pardon the stupid question ...
Are both the outside (front and rear) flashers "flashing"? If not It could be both bulbs burned at the same time? It could also mean that the brake light portion of the bulb in the rear burned. I believe if it were a fuse, you would not get any indication, as both the left and right side would be out. Cheapest test would be to replace both bulbs. Recently I lost my driver side rear turn bulb, and it flashed at 2x speed. Replaced the bulb, all is well.

It was the rear bulb

Didn't notice it before but the rear bulb was burned out. Sorry I doubt all of you. Thanks for the help.
