Exclamation Turn Signal Issues -HELP-

So I have Depo tails and stock fronts. Recently my driver side rear turn signal has stopped working and my front driver side signal blinks really fast. I'm thinking that there is a ground somewhere. Does anyone know where to look first? Has anyone had this problem? It's pretty annoying...

Usually if a turn signal bulb burns out, the remaining bulb (for the same side) "hyperflashes" as an indicator to the driver: "time to replace a bulb."

Did you check the right one? It is the one with TWO elements - one for stop and one for signal. If not then give it a try and replace. Just swap it with the other side to check it.

Well everyone was wrong lol. It was a loose connector. (I suppose you were all kinda right since the car thought a bulb was out)
