When i turn my right turn signal on it flashes faster then the one on the left... I changed all my light bulbs and they are all working fine. What else can be making this happen? Thanks!

You checked the brake lights as well as the running lights?

Most likely...if you changed all of the bulbs, there is probably a loose wire inside of one of the plug's..

Your relays should be located in your fusebox. Do check your connections too it is very possible they could be loose.

Well it was a loose wire on the right turn signal light. Both turn signals work fine now! Thanks for all your help!

199 Q45: I have the same problem. Had 2 rear deck stop bulbs out. (also had stop light out message on dash) Replaced bulbs. Right turn signal still much faster than Left turn signal. Message on dash cleared when I replaced bulbs.
