Ok, so my signals were fine, then started flashing fast. The front right turn signal bulb was out. Replaced it and the right side went to flashing normal, but the left side was still flashing fast. Checked it out and the left side marker light (near the turn signal but on the left side of the fender) was out. So replaced that one but it's still flashing fast on the left side. All turn signals and brake lights and all that work. I'm stumped. Lol Any ideas? Thanks!!
 
Sounds like a poor connection somewhere in that circuit. Start by removing the bulbs and cleaning the contacts with a contact cleaning brush. If that doesn’t work, check the grounds cor that circuit.

Not suggesting this exact set but this is what I’m talking about. Shop around for best price.

As far as I know yes. When I got the Jeep the signals worked fine left and right. Then the right front bulb went out and started flashing fast. Now it is what it is. I will take them all out next weekend and check them all to make sure there are no LED bulbs. I haven't been into the rear ones yet.

Thanks for the advise! I'll let ya know!

Please do. I hate to beat a dead horse, but there’s nothing more worthless than a thread with no solution ever being posted. Thanks in advance.
 
Make sure there isn't any corrosion in the bulb sockets. I had some down in one of my marker light sockets that looked decent to the eye, but electrically was bad. Cleaning it out with a pick and a small needle file worked great.

My passenger side was hyper flashing when I got the LJ. Turned out someone put dielectric grease in the rear tail light socket. Cleaned it all up and it works fine.
