Flashers (turnsignal) problem

hi there, since the last week my turn signal started to blinking fast (the right only).


When i checked outside, the rear right was blinking fast and the front right does not flash.

left is fine and no problem.

What could be the problem?

Your right front bulb is the problem.

They blink fast when a bulb is blown.

The 1157 turn signal bulbs are dual filament. It's possible that one filament may burn out and the other doesn't. Replace the bulb.

ok, so i went back out and tried again, NEW BULBS, same result, BUT one new thing, i noticed, if i have the turn signal on, and i move the wiring that the bulb is on the end of, like just move it around, it starts flashing normally...i guess its just a loose connection?
