Right turn signal flashing faster than left

I have a 2000 Chrysler Cirrus LXi.

When signaling for a right turn, the flasher will run faster than when
signaling for a left.

I have checked the bulbs, and they appear to be okay.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Hi Kirk...

Not a mechanic, just an old retired electrical guy...

Check which bulb isn't flashing (front or rear).

Whichever one isn't - check the bulb by replacement, while you're
in there check the socket for corrosion or physical damage. Also
check the wiring to that socket by visual inspection, and by running
your fingers over it and bending it between them slightly as you do.
If the wire is broken while the insulation is still intact, it'll
bend sharply at the break point.

It is either the bulb, the socket, or the wiring

Take care.

Some vehicles have more than just 1 bulb, on a side, in the rear that
flash. Compare the right rear flashing with the left rear flashing and see
if you have 2 bulbs on each side. If one is burned out it will rapidly flash
on that side.

Bad ground connection on one side or burned out bulb or wrong bulb
installed.

Also, just in case you haven't done this, check all the other bulbs,
particularly the brake lights - many cars' electrical systems are
designed so that when a bulb that you wouldn't normally see (such as a
brake light or a turn signal light) burns out, the turn signal on the
other side will flash faster as an indicator. Had it happen on my
Caravan many years ago, can't remember if it was a brake light or turn
signal on the other side. Regardless, when I replaced the bulb the
flasher rate returned to normal. Now any time the flasher speed
changes I check the bulbs first. Never had it be anything else.

Or, you could just stop using your turn signals. Most people around
here consider them giving information to the enemy.
