Recently, the blink rate(what is the technical term?:-)) on my left signal has doubled and seems to be louder. The right turn signal has not changed at all. Two things come to mind - capacitor failure and replacement or loose wire somewhere.
Thanks

Burnt out bulb?
Did you recently change one of bulbs? If you replaced with a heavy duty bulb, it will cause this issue.
what capacitor? You've got a bad bulb somewhere.
Normally it's just a burnt out Bulb. Check that first, The side flashing FASTER is the side with one out, front or back. Should be a simple fix. You may want to go ahead and check and make sure there aren't any others out. The Center Brake light seems to always burn out a lot, but sometimes one or the other brakes lights may be out also.
Not only a burned out bulb, but mismatched bulbs can cause it too. There are 2 on each side in the front turn signal. I got a replacement that was a different wattage than the original and it still blinked too fast. That was hard to figure out. I replaced all four with the same type and it fixed it.
