Turn signals are acting really weird. Help needed

I dont ask for much help but Im so confused on this.
Basically I wanna kno if it happened to anyone else.
It only happeneds to my right turn signals.
Sometimes when I use my right turn signal it blinks really really really fast and not only that when I go outside to check it my parking lights go with it! My hazards work fine and my whole left side is ok. The rear passenger tails also goes super fast. Sometimes it's ok and sometimes it starts out ok and then goes hyper all of the sudden, and sometimes it jus starts hyper.
Any ideas?
Thanks

i dont know about our cars, although some cars have seperate relays for the left and right blinker, maybe that has something to do with it

do you have a cold air intake? if so that is your problem as it was my exact same problem...take off that rubber mounting bolt that holds the ground wires down by the filter, put a lock washer on it, hand tighten it, then put the washer, another lock washer, and the nut back on and tighten it really good and that'll take care of your problem.

when you take off your bumper, remember that bolt you had to take off to so you could put on the new one with the rubber piece that holds the intake on? well it's not putting enough pressure against those ground wires behind it, so take it off and put a lock washer behind it and another one behind the nut, that way it will stay tight. trust me this will work cause i just did it this weekend! hope that helps ya.

Thas for explaining better, I totally understand.
But for a few days now (2-3) it hasnt been doing it, I dropped my car 4inches on blown struts and broken shocks and I bounce everywhere so it might of bumped into place.
