I accidently backed over a curb, and dropped the front tire off the edge, and now my right blinker is blinking really fast. The right front turn signal is not as bright as the left when it blinks either. what would the problem be?

Thanks

Lightbulb

The last time my blinker blinked really fast, it was because the bulb was just about to go. Try changing the bulb and see if it goes back to normal.

Lightbulb Blinking Fast

You might have a loose wire or shorted wire somewhere. Its must likely to be a loose wire. check your wires

The blinker light is dual filament meaning there are 2 wires lighting the bulb when you signal. When you drive with your headlights on. Only one filaments are used. I suspect one of the two filaents are broken just, change out the bulb.

Most likely your right front turn signal light/park light has jarred loose, so you need to take out the right headlight assem and make sure the bulb fixture itself is aligned correctly with the contacts in the headlight housing (you'll know what it mean when you take it a part.) I had this same problem myself.
