Ok This just started today. When activate the turn signals, sometimes they go into fast flash mode and the fronts dont flash anymore. Strangely the rear flashes ok. Flash rate is about twice as fast as normal. This happens about 50% of the time I use the signals.

Any idea whats going on?

try cleaning the contacts on the tail light bulbs

you're probably intermittently losing a bulb somewhere, or, your hazard/flasher unit is showing its grey hairs

If the front quit working I would replace the front bulbs and clean all contacts. My kj did the same thing with the brake lights not too long ago. One day all three brake lights just blew..

The faster flashing is due to not all the bulbs in that circut working,get the all the bulbs working and the fast flashing will go away.Same thing happens when you install LED bulbs without the resistors.
