Blinker WTF?!?!

So driving back today from the doc's office, and I notice that my right turn signal blinks twice as fast as my left. Have I just neglected to notice this until now(owned the truck not even a month now). Or do I have something wrong with it?

Its not just the outside light either, the green arrow on the dash and the clicking noise are all that fast together.

Sorry if this is normal, i just thought it to be weird.

-Sean

I'm sure the dealer would be happy to diagnose your problem and even come up with a solution, for a small fee.

yep, the typical indicator you blew a light. i remember the 1st time it happened to me-- i was like "what the hell, my blinker is on crack"!

kind of reminds me of today when my coworker went to get his oil changed and they couldn't open the hood. he brought it back to work and told me he'd have to take it into the shop to get them to open the hood b/c the latch was broken. i grapped a screwdriver and pliers and went outside, dropped the latch down, grapped the end of the broken cable and yanked--- and low and behold the hood pops open. i guess the oil change guy didn't really want to change his oil or was just too dumb / lazy to help a man out.

yea ive owned 3 fords and 1 dodge since being able to drive at 17, and I am now 21. And i have never once had a bulb go out in any of my fords until now. In the ram, if any bulb went out, there was a message on the cluster gauge that said "Lamp Out"

anyway probably the easiest install ever.

the WTF was for the green arrow on the dash going fast as hell because ive never had this problem before and I thought maybe something in the wiring got messed up
