Default All new bulbs, fast blinker.

Hey guys, I have an '01 v-8, 4.7, 4x4 Durango and have been having problems with the signals.

A few weeks ago, one of my headlights went out and on the way to get new bulbs, my left blinker started going fast like a bulb was out, so we went ahead and bought new bulbs for the blinkers too. We replaced the headlights and front signal bulbs and it went back to normal. It was fine for about a week and a half, but now they are blinking fast again (still on the driver's side), so I replaced all of the rear bulbs. Now, they sometimes work as they should, and sometimes they blink fast, it will do both in just a 10 minute trip. Both the front and rear signals are lighting up, but the fast blinking is getting annoying. We have gone back and made sure the connections are tight, so now I am stumped. Any tips? I appreciate your help!

Replace the Flasher relay. Located under the steering column near the drivers left leg. The part should only come out to 15 bucks or so. Fixed mine with similar symptoms.

Think you could give me a link to buy one at? O'Reilly's is telling me it'll cost $65. I would really appreciate it.

They will have multiple listings for this relay in the catalog. There will be a listing for a green relay which is listed as the OE style , this is what was $65 bucks. Another is made by Littlefuse and is $20 bucks , part number FLR727BP . This fuse is fine to use and will save some $.
