Left turn signal blinks faster then my right signal
Today I noticed that my left turn signal is blinking more rapidly then my right signal. I do not have LED lights as turn signals so I do not know what's causing this. Anyone know what I can do to fix this or do I need to take the car to the dealer for service?

Burnt out bulb (or it came dis-connected or something). Regardless it's caused by something that makes the car think the bulb is burned out or missing.
Car that new should be under the warranty even though it's a wear item.

All bulbs were fine. Took the car to the dealer and after a whole day with the car, they said the cause of the problem is because I changed my fog light bulbs. I told them the fog light bulbs are of the same specs, and have been on the car for over a month with no problems. They wanted to charge me $400 to diagnose the wiring so I refused because I argued it should be covered under warranty. Since the fog light bulb wasn't purchased through them, they refused to check the car under warranty terms.
Today I checked the signal light bulb and found the problem. It was the metal connector in the socket. It wasn't making a good connection because it was flat. I fix it with a screwdriver and everything is working fine.

they didnt want to touch it because you changed the fogs - yet that wasn't the problem.

I don't get it. A faster blink rate means that a bulb is out (not enough resistance).
I would interpret that to mean that all bulbs were blinking?

I'm confused...

Bulb was blinking, but was blinking fast and not as bright. I thought it was the bulb but it was actually the metal clip in the socket not making proper connection. I cleaned it and fixed the problem. They didn't want to look at the car because the fogs were changed and not purchased thru them yet my fog lights are the exact same specs of the lights that came with the car.
