Default HELP Blinker Issue

Okay so tonight I hop in the truck to go out. The first time I throw on the left blinker it starts blinking twice as fast as normal on the console, the mirror, and the front headlamp. It was not blinking at all on the back.
Does this mean I just need to replace the back bulb. Thanks

Yessir, when it blinks fast like that, its time to hit up the auto parts store for some new bulbs. Just happened to me last month. Only a few bucks for the them and only a couple of minutes to replace.

Blinker fluid is low!

The flasher now has more power going to it since the bulb is bad so it flashes faster.
