having fast turning signal flashing/dimming problem! Changed bulbs, there's no fuses to them, seems to be a short/bad ground somewhere, and I can't find where! I've tried pulling the iod fuse, I've tried unhooking battery, really am very lost here, any help would be greatly appreciated!

If all of the bulbs are good the TIPM needs to be replaced which is common here are the instructions to the repair the unit which is easy because it self initializes. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know what happens.

I had the same problem on my 05 sxt it turned out to be the socket itself. You have to push the little prongs in the socket back up so they make contact with the bulb.
