wild blinker

When I turn on my left turn signal everything's fine.

When I turn on my right turn signal it flashes double time in front and nothing in the rear.

Anybody have experience with this or should I just start tracing wires ?

Replace the rear bulb, I think Ford designed this to happen so you would be aware your blinker bulb burned out.

Thanks -

All new bulbs, guess I should've mentioned that but it's the first thing I did.

If you have replaced the bulbs, and the problem still exists one thing to check would be the blinker relay, and the fuses. The other thing is make sure you have the exact match for your bulb, I don't know if it was an isolated instance, but I replaced a bulb the but blinker kept flashing double time I double checked the part number at discovered that the new one was a number or a letter off. If that is not the problem than start checking the wires, probably a bad ground or something along those lines.
