Default Blinker is too fast

I have a 2000 accord and the blinkers on my driver's side blink twice as fast. I have tried replacing the bulbs, flasher relay, and bulb sockets. Was wondering what else I can try/do? Any help would be appreciated.

too funny. some other guy was trying to get his car to do what yours is doing right now. you probably have a bulb burned out somewhere that you havent found yet

You may have grounding issue... Bad ground or a short somewhere... Could also be the wrong bulbs.

After I replaced the bulbs and saw that nothing changed, I put the old ones back and also put them in the opposite side that they were originally to see if the fast blinking changed sides, but it didn't. How do I check for a short or bad ground? Thanks.

Start simple and inspect all the wires near the lights to make sure nothing is frayed or visible where it could touch against anything else, then trace the wires as much as possible to make sure everything is still properly insulated... I was just curious did this just start hapening one day for no reason? Are you 100% positive that all of your blinkers (including side markers of anysort) are working?

yes just because your have new bulbs doesnt mean that they are working. there should be three blinkers per side
