the left turn signal flashes erratically when turned on in my Bravada. The right side flashes normally. I've checked all of the bulbs and they're flashing, but way too fast. When the hazards lights are turned all lights flash normally. What could be the problem?

Could be an issue with the flasher for the turn signals if all of them flash too fast. That is usually an indicator of a bad bulb
