Default Passenger Brake/Blinker issues

I replaced the bulb yesterday and it worked. The annoying fast blinking light in the dash when using the right blinker went away. Fast forward to today. The fast blinking light/sound has returned and now the passenger side brake light and blinker don't like up. The front right blinker works and running lights work.

What could be the issue? I also checked all correlating fuses in the cab and engine bay as well. None were bad.

Fast blinking indicator is telling you ...you have a burnt out bulb..if you replaced the turn signal bulb already and it did it again, I would think you have a short that is burning your bulb...did you notice any corrosion issues when the bulb was removed ?

It's not always the bulb. I checked mine and none of the bulbs were blown, my front was doing this same thing this morning. I tried to take the cover off but couldn't get it all the way off. But in the process whatever was loose must've gotten Jimmied back into place as my blinker is now working again, lol.

I assume your talking about the cover around the steering wheel?

- that's what leads me to believe it could be the relay.

Yes, lol. I meant to type that, oh well. I figure the relay got jolted loose either when I hit a bump, the road around here have gotten bad, or when I slammed my hands on the steering wheel the other day when I was mad.
