Question Turn Signal

My 97 Mercury left turn signal sometimes flashes fast like a bulb is out. But it's not. If you switch it slowly it works good. but just filp the lever down quickly it starts the fast flashing. Is the flasher common to both rt. and left. I suspect there is a problem in the switch in the column. Anyone have experence with this? The switch should be pretty common with FOMOCO.

The turn signal flasher operates both sides.

The Hazard lights flasher operates both sides.

If a flasher blinks very fast,the circuit has more draw than it should,thus requiring a more HD flasher like an HD-12.
