Insane fast blinker...
I came up on a turn really quick and had my right blinker on. I noticed when I stopped before I made the turn that my right blinker was blinking very fast. The noise that accompanies it was also very fast. After the turn I hit the left blinker to see if I just never had noticed the speed of the blinker. It was the normal speed. I switched to the right…still fast. So I drove a few seconds and tried again. Both now at the slower speed….
Weird or normal??

Consider yourself lucky. When the bulbs on my Lotus Elan used to burn out, the entire lighting system would go down (very dim output) and if not rectified quickly would lead to overheating on the electrical system's wiring and potential fire / meltdown as consequences.
That Lotus was one hot ride.

In the old days..
when we had to walk uphill both ways to school , the fast binking was because the blinker was governed by a bi-metallic spring. When it got hot, it opened and then cooled to close. Loosing a bulb meant that it didn't get as hot, and cooled faster.
Greatbear might know (he seems to have some inside knowledge into the tech stuff) what the BC module is doing in case of a bulb failure....
