Default Quick turn signal blinker

SO, when i turn on my left turn signal it clicks really quickly. Which I know means something is out or dieing.

Well I replaced the front turn signal bulb, and the rear turn signal bulb, and it's blinking super fast. Any ideas?

What year Mustang do you have OP? If it's an 05-09, you should have two bulbs in the rear tail lights. Check the extra when you get a chance. That's probably the faulty bulb.

Thanks for the replies guys,

Its an 07GT. The rear assembly has 3 main bulbs and a 4th smaller reverse bulb. When the turn signal is activated, only the outer-most bulb blinks, just one bulb. And I have replaced that bulb and I'm still having the turbo blinker.

Could it be the fuse?

i had an issue similar to this on my 06. fast blink. rear bulb wasnt coming on. changed the bulb out...same issue. wasnt the bulb it was something in the wiring. i guess dirt got in the connector and the bulb lost the connection when in the connector. inserted and removed the bulb about a dozen times and it cleaned off the terminals and didnt have any issues afterwards

Replace the middle bulb.
