I experimented before, that if there is a different bulb in the socket then a stock recomendation, that the blinker will blink crazy fast. Did it on a Taurus before

sorry i couldnt resist. well in my instances when my flasher went out all 4 times it did so far the flasher slowed down then stuck on or off. i would check the bulbs, but you can also check the flasher (only $3 to get a new one at autozone).

Bulbs can do this. If you burn one out in some circuts they don't flash at all.
