Fast blinker

I have a 2013 F350 6.2l CC 4WD Lariat with 120,000 miles. Today when I drove it, the right blinker was much faster than normal. The left blinker and flashers are still the same speed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Most likely a bulb burned out on right side.

Just FYI as the blinker rate operates on OHMs of resistance so a burned out bulb changes the resistance on the circuit hence a more rapid blink. Been this way with blinkers for a long as I can remember as the basic wiring and flasher setup has remained virtually unchanged.

Use to be if fast blink it was the rear bulb. If not blinking but solid turn indicator light it was the front bulb. Not sure if changed with the electronics now days.
