Default Turn signal problems

I know this may be a simple fix but my left turn signal is flashing fast I checked all the bulbs and there good top and bottom front head lights and rear but Ido notice that the right side is a little brighter? Any help?

Check the grounds on the left side lights. Use a multi meter set to ohms. Touch the frame with one prong, and the brown or black wire with the other, do this at each signal light till you find the high resistance. Should read less than 1.0... if you have more than 1.0, then you have a bad ground. In this case, follow the wire to where it grounds, undo, and clean it up with sandpaper and reinstall with a little dilectric grease where you sanded the corrosion off.

Just a question I have as well... My drivers side front blinker went out so I replaced it and now whenever I turn my lights on (driving or otherwise) the blinker arrow light comes on and stays on, but the blinker works fine when I use it... what the heck?

Please do not hijack someone elses thread.
But with your problem, when you removed the old bulb, was it tough to come out, or was there enough grease in there to remove without anything breaking?
