Default Driver side blinker going fast?

My driver side blinker is blinking way faster than normal. My passenger side blinker is fine. I know this is usually a sign of a short, but the electrical system in my car is stock and has not been touched. It appears that all my lights are working and that no bulbs are out. Anyone have any advice?
Thanks

yeah i think it happens when your bulb has some problem, or maybe the wires.. replacing the bulb is a good start though

turn on blinker, get out of car and check for burnt out bulbs. when a bulb burns out the resistance in the circuit changes, causing fast flashing.

99% its one of the bulbs.

100% you have a bulb out or replaced it with wrong bulb (1157 instead of 2057 etc) I had similar problem with rear tail lamps dash said I had a bulb out but none were out. Turns out the running lamps were replaced with 194's instead of correct lamps.

as what everyone else said, check your drivers side blinkers outside front and back, this happened to me and I freaked out but it was only a burnt bulb hah

It happens out of nowhere when the resistance of the bulb increases.
