So Ive checked all three bulbs that go when the left is on they are all fine, cleaned them, still blinks to fast, only on the left side, its happened a couple times before and i just bang on the left rear tail light lens and it fixes it, but not this time. Is there a separate relay for each side?

Also hazards blink normal, also i switched all left blinker bulbs to the right and the right ones to the left and it still has the issue

Check for change when you:
Cycle the hazard switch a couple times.
Remove bulb one at a time while flashing, when no bulb lights the bulb and socket in your hand is the good one, the one still in the socket has a bad ground/common or its socket common is bad.
- which happens a lot on Chebbies, I hear
Good work.
Which would mean you will do the above to find the bad socket.
Long shot:
Remove the backup lamp that side

Hmmm.. that's a real headscratcher. That leaves the front but it isnt usually and like you said, you rapped the back to fix it before.
I have known people who just went ahead and replaced sockets anyway.

Just my 2 cents, you mentioned you checked the 3 bulbs but there are 4, the side marker next to the headlights also works with the signals, when mine had 1 of those blown I was getting the hyper flash and it happened to be the left. Hope this helps.
