Alright if it's blinking very fast, the bulb needs to be replaced, Either that or it's a bad fuse. More than likely the bulb burnt out. I have this happen to me several times.

First thing to do is turn on the signal and walk around the car and make sure that both the front and rear bulbs are working. Fast flashing is an indication that one bulb is burned out. You can also turn on the hazard flashers and check for burnt out bulbs that way. Turn on the headlights and make sure all the bulbs are working then also.
Bulbs for the turn signals (cars that do not have seperate orange rear signals) typically have two filaments - one low filament that lights when the parking lights and headlights are on and one bright one that operates when the brake lights or turn signals operate. Sometimes one filament will burn out and short the other filament, causing the fast flash. If one filament goes, you need to replace the bulb.
A few trips arond the car with different things on (headlights - flashers - turn signals) each time will easliy show problems.
If all bulbs check out okay - the turn signal flasher may be at fault, but I'd bet you got a bad bulb.

when this happened to me it was when i checked it i put a new bulb in the light lense socket and replaced the fuse in the fuse box. the fuse box maybe located in the glove box or somewhere down around the driverside door on the bottom of the dash board sometimes these fuse boxes are in places that you would never expect. most likely the bulb needs replaced this is not hard at all just take the lens off the head light socket screws maybe up in underneathe the front fender. and change the bulb good luck

It just needs a new bulb, it blinks really fast to tell you that something is wrong. Get a 2 dollar bulb and you are good to go!

.First step to getting it done? Take it to a repair shop. The blinking very fast sounds like a bulb out.

that just means the bulb is burnt out....its only like 5 dollars for a bulb......get it done before your inspection or they will charge an arm and a leg to replace it for you.
