does anyone know what will cause the turn signal to start flashing faster than normal? all the bulbs are still lighting. the left turn signal still blinks normal. i don't know what the problem is. thanks for your help.

Normally it's a case of a bulb being burnt out. But you say that all the bulbs are lighting, so that can't be the reason.

Maybe a bulb is getting near failure. The old flashers used a bimetal strip heated by current drawn by the bulbs,and when a bulb opened,the rest on that branch would flash slower or just stay on.Too bright a bulb(or adding a trailer's lights),and they would flash faster(thus the need for a HD flasher). Maybe a bulb filament has broken,and reconnected but is now slightly shorter,and burns hotter.(and uses more current) Try putting new bulbs in.
I don't know enough about Honda flasher modules to know how they work.
Turn on the parking lights and try the flashers. Does either of the tail lights go dim? If so, you have a ground problem.

i caught the problem. i bought the car last year and someone didn't turn the plastic light socket fully into the tail light lense and some moisture was getting to it and cause minor corrosion. i sprayed a little wd-40 in the socket and put a new bulb in it and problem solved. thanks for the advice.
