Odd Blinker Problem, multiple symptoms
Odd Blinker Problem, multiple symptoms I did a search, but every thread I read seemed to be about obvious blinker problems (where it will stay lit up solid due to a bulb being blown out). First off, all my lights work fine. They all signal properly; none of them are burned out or blown. However, when I use my turn signals, the lights (the dash arrows as well as the signals on the outside of the car themselves) signal fairly rapidly; maybe 1.5x's faster than they should. They also make no noise when they "click" on and off; they're completely silent. Third, they "freeze" after about 10 seconds of blinking and stay lit up until you turn them off/make the turn. Once they freeze like this, I can't signal again for another minute or two or else they'll still be "frozen" like that. It's done this since I bought the car last summer, and I figured I'd try and fix this annoyance while it's still down for the winter. Any advice on what to do?

Sounds like a bad blinker
It will work for a bit until it heats up too much. Try swapping the four-way blinker with the turn signal blinker.
I've never seen a bad socket do that, but it would make sense. A poor connection raises the resistance in the circuit and therefore should act like a bad bulb.
That said, I would try swapping flashers before I took the time to inspect all the sockets.
