Default Blinker acting up!

Alright, this started about 2 weeks ago, didnt happen very often but now it happening more and more. Whenever i put my right turn signal on (usually the first time i trun right) the blinker blinks 2-3 times fatser than usual? Its not a big deal but anoying.. Could it be that one of the lights are going out?

You probably have a light that is out already.

If my left corner bulb doesn't turn on when I have the lights on but it works fine as the blinker is that a wiring problem or could replacing the bulb fix that? Or anything else?

Its a dual fillimant bulb so either one of those are out, or you have a problem with your wiring. Start with the 3 dollar bulb first.

i have this same problem on my 96 GT my right turn signal.... but except it seem that when my car gets warmed up the signal will work fine sometimes, and since it wors fine sometimes and doesnt others, that would mean i have a wiring problem? sorry if im like intruding with my own question i just saw it was related and figured its easier to just add on to this instead of starting a whole new thread for the same thing basiclaly

Make sure to check your blinker fluid as well.
