Blinkers on the fritz
So this morning I'm making a turn and while in the turn lane I notice my light is flashing rapidly, my first thought was got to get a new bulb but then it blinks at a regular speed a few times then rapidly and so on. Later the same thing happened with the opposite side. What's up with that?

Well everything worked normal on the way home, but I'll give all connections a check, clean them, and put some dielectric on them.
Oh and it's a 90 4.0 I'd that's the info you were talking about.

You can also try swapping your hazard flasher module with your blinker module. It sounds like a bad flasher module (load-based relay). The blinker relay won't function correctly in the hazard slot but the hazard relay works fine in the blinker port.
The blinking module is for your blinkers, the round, silver module on the opposite corner is for your hazards, swap them and see if your issue continues.

It's a two-frame animated GIF. One frame with the blinker relay in, the other with it out. I used Photoshop but there are several free online GIF generators if you don't have Photoshop... Like this one http://imgflip.com/gifgenerator
