Default Directional Signal at double speed

I have a 06 Roadster Limited and I just noticed a quirk with the directional signal. When signaling right it blinks at the regular rate but signaling left appears to be double speed. Has anyone seen this before? How do I fix this?

I have searched the forum but I did not find anything on this. If I missed it, please direct me to the thread.

Thanks

Tony

Your bulb is burned out. Most likely the front.

Thanks - that was it and now I feel very stupid for missing that.

mine literally just did the same thing... I got a flat and had the car on jack stands for a few days and once I got back in it with the new tire on, the blinker was doing the same as yours.. the rear blinker is fine so I suppose I'll have to check the front!

Put led's in.. then you'll never see a difference!

I've got the "chrome" bulbs now for a clean look, but if I have to replace some I may just go LED.. i've already got the lightout indicator on from the LED side markers, might as well go all the way
