Hi,

It sounds like the rear bulb is bad. Did you check to see if the rear left signal is doing the same thing?

What you described is caused by an open circuit at some point in the wiring or a failed bulb. The fast flashing is normal and designed to do this as an indicator. Check all left bulbs to see if they are functioning and let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
