1997 Jeep Cherokee Turn Signals Blinking Faster When Lights

first check all bulbs. does your vehicle use same switch to active headlamps as well as signals?

No, the switch is on the dash, to the left of the instrument cluster.
All bulbs were checked a while back, (earlier this summer), and and I found bulbs on the front signals to be, (I'm at work, and trying to recall this), to be 1157, and the manual shows that they should be 1137. (??)
Now, don't get me wrong, I just seem to remember it was something like that.
BTW, I haven't had this but for less than a year, it was my son's before that, and it seems to have always blinked like this.
But, I believe the 1137 & 1157 are both dual filament bulbs.
Question) Doesn't the signals blink faster when there is a greater load?
Could it be that I simply need to replace the signal relay component, which I haven't decided to do yet, but I'm leaning towards that.

it may be a faulty flasher relay yes, but normally when these fail the signals will either come on but not flash or not come on at all..it is a cheap fix though so always a good place to start. also replacing the bulbs with the correct ones wouldn't hurt either.

Will look into doing that after the holidays.
Happy Thanksgiving!
