Fast turn signal
All of a sudden today my left turn signal started going insane. It blinks very fast while the right is normal. Any idea's what sparked this?

Rep Power: 0 not sure but at least on my dad's '97 camry, it means that maybe one of the other signal bulbs are burnt out or maybe the light fixture is loose or somethin... not sure if this is the case.

Rep Power: 0 ^^ yup, one of your other bulbs are bad, it is letting you know. I thought my one side looked pretty tight when that happened to me, but if somebody saw my other side after that, they would think i'm a dork.

Rep Power: 279 Yes one bulb is out. It blinks faster because once a bulb burns out there is less resistance of operating that bulb on the relay. Thus creating the working bulb to blink faster and that is transfered to your turn signal.
