Default blinker fluid

My blinker blinks 3x to fast only on the left , not on emergency or right hand blinking. I know there is a mechanism that controls this. Im just wondering where and what it is?

If it blinks really fast, one of your light bulbs is out. if the flasher goes out, it won't blink at all.

There is an electronic flasher module in the car that runs the turn signals and hazard lamps. This module has a function that warns the driver when a lamp burns out by flashing at about twice the normal flash rate

Check if the cornerlights come on when your lights are on. It doesn't have to be the "blinking" light. These bulbs have two fillaments and if either one goes out it will blink fast. If not, then the flasher is probably going out. I replaced mine about 2 weeks ago, but my blinkers stopped blinking completely.

Umm. My parking lights work normally, headlights work normally and my brake lights work normally. The only thing wrong i notice is my left turn signal, and the front and back turn signal and the gauge cluster indicators are all in sync
