Don't know what's going on, the left one blinks about 3 times faster than the right. Just started tonight, nothing special was done today.

Also, there's a specific fuse you can pull for 15min to reset the ECU isn't there? Just curious as to which one it was

Check your bulbs, they might look OK but one is screwed. Take them out and clean the slot too.

You can pull off your positive batt cable to reset the computer.

Try replacing the flasher relay and see if the signal problem goes away. http://www.bc4x4.com/ubb/smilies/cwm35.gif

MrDiesel is right.
It does this when there is a burnt bulb.
I always thought that was a cool deal since you'd never know if your turn signals were out. Unless you checked them everyday like a good boy/girl.

Wow, I didn't realize that it did it for just a burnt bulb. I'll have to change it this morning... thanks for the help

Yup i had the same problem with mine and it was a burnt out bulb-changed it and everything is back to normal. I also taped all of my connections together which may help for a loose connection.
Hope you figure it out-Brett

This is because you have a variable-rate flasher, and when a bulb is out the current draw changes, changing the flasher rate.
