Blinker Issue!

Blinker Issue!
I have a 2002 Dakota V6. About a week ago my left blinker started blinking very fast, like one of my bulbs was out. I checked all my bulbs and they all work. The left side blinks fast, the right side is normal, and the flashers work normal.My brother has a 03 or 04 and he said his started doing the same thing today. Any input on this would be appreciated, as I have no clue why this is happening. Oh also I am new here and love this place it has helped me out many many times. Thanks yall.

I did a search and found a 2000 durango with about the same problem. he said there were two blinkers up front on each sideand one of the bulbs were out, so I may check on that. But all four blinkers work, all the way around the truck. The running lights come on and work and all the blinkers work. A buddy just mentioned that maybe my trailer wires are grounded out, but if that was the case wouldnt my flashers blink fast also?? Im confused......

I think i might have figured it out. In the yellow portion of the lights there are three bulbs, two for blinkers and one for lights. Unless your paying really close attention, you wont notice if the outer blinker bulb is burned, unless you get really close to it and look at the lighting difference. Tomorrow I shall pull that part out and check that bulb. Update afterwards.

Figured out the issue. Once I figured out how to get the blinker portion out, after I pulled the whole headlight assy out (which is a pain in the rear), one of the bubls had just got loose, I pushed it back in and everything works fine. Kinda weird how it got loose, cause theyre so tight in there but oh well.

RE: Blinker Issue!
Just went through this hell on my driver's side. I took apart the front light assembly, thinking I missed one of the two lights. NOPE. Icleaned up the ground. NOPE. I took apart the rear light assembly. The light's good. I clean up the ground. NO DICE. I take apart the connector and swap it to the passenger's side. NOPE. Come to find out I had a broken wire in the harness side of the connector. So I took it apart, without breaking it too much. Wish I had a solder gun so I could permanently attach the wire, but I don't, so I gently spread the crimped connector and recrimped it. I'll probably go to a junk yard soon and cut off another connector and hard solder the wires, then heat shrink them, so it's more permanent. But for now, after hours of chasing, I have normal blinkers.
