Well the right blinker works fine but the left one blinks fast. All the bulbs light up including the curb bulb, so is it MFS??

My guess it would be a bad bulb. I know you said that all bulbs light up, but I still would replace.

Could also be a defective relay. A simple fix is to ad a "LED" load resistor on the left side.

You have a bad bulb. Could be in the tail lights on that side also.

Your the winner:) The bulbs were all working but one of the rears must had lost enough resistance to cause it to flash fast. Changed it and works now:banana2:

Thanks for all the input!

FWIW, Phoebe just developed this malady. Turns out there are 2 bulbs in the rear...I thought there was only one 3157 for the tail/brake and a smaller one, like a 194, for the sidemarker. There are actually 2 3157 bulbs, and one of them had a bad filament on the brake/blinker side so it didn't appear there was anything wrong until I took it apart.

You need to do the additional bulb mod.
