Question Dang blinker is acting up

So I was driving with the Mrs, just going to run errands.

With my luck, I'm stuck on a red light. Finally, the protective light comes on and I take off, when I notice the blinker indicator light in the cab was flashing both sides. I think nothing of it, and I though I activated the Haz lights.

Then I realized the button for the Haz lights is away from the turn signal. Fine, I'm leaving the store when the truck did the same thing.

Every time I hit the turn signal, both side flash!!.....

what the Buck is wrong with my truck....anyone with similar experiance

something may be wired incorrectly (i'm like less than 60% on this). Your truck isn't new to you or anything right, and this just started when? Today? Yesterday? Any work done on it recently involving anything under the hood?

Maybe your flasher has gone bad http://www.napaonline.com/MasterPage...+-+Turn+Signal, I had it happen on an old car of mine the turn signals would blink really slow. Once I replaced the flasher the problem was solved.

You use your turn signal too? Me and you are a rare breed my friend, we should start a club or something although it'll be very small...heh.

I've come to the conclusion that turn signals are optional equipment in Florida. The only time you see a turn signal around here is when someone is driving with their blinker on...probably bumped the stick and can't figure out what that clicking noise is or why there's a flashing light on their dash...
