Strange turn signal issue

Strange turn signal issue
Hi, I've got an 04 1500 with a strange turn signal problem. All the bulbs are good but when I put the turn signal on, left and right, the turn signal bulb and the indicator lights in the dash do not match up. The indicator light in the dash seems to be blinking slightly faster than the bulbs are on the outside. It seems almost as if there's a ground wire loose somewhere or something but I'm kinda stumped.

I'm not sure you have a problem at all...
Pretty sure there isn't a mechanical flasher anymore. The electronics are nice enough to give you an artificial click sound, though.
I believe the "click" is generated separately from the flasher function,
park in front of a garage door/wall and put your turn signal on, if you watch the reflection off the wall you'll notice the flashing and the "click" aren't in phase.
That's just the way it is...isn't new technology wonderful?
