flasher problem

Hey guys, it seems my front flasher (blinking light in bumper) on my gen3 has stopped working.. being too lazy to check out if its only the bulb, I'm asking you guys if you know if this has any connection with the fact the flasher now blinks 239487239487 times faster than before.. lol

I guess if theres no power going to the front light anymore, and the power used to be splitted in two, thats what makes the other one blink twice as fast, but not sure about anything...

Can anyone inform me?

thanks in advance

If a bulb is out..the flasher has a lower resistance presented to it (which controls it flash rate) so, the other lights will flash quicker.

Check your bulb.

my mom's gen4 has this problem but the bulbs are working...well it blew out then i replaced it and now the right blinker blinks like 5 times faster than the left.. so it doesn't have to be a bulb... could just be your bulb is old and now has less resistance than b4
