So my 2008 ram's turns signals blinks too fast. Where I can start looking for the problem?

The light bulbs have been all changed to led but it didn't make any difference when I put there resistor or relay. It also didn't make any difference when I changed all bulbs to the normal ones.

Yes they are blinking fast outside too. and the odd part is that the first 4-5 blinks are normal speed but then they start fast blinking. and the hazard flasher mode(?) (when the both blinkers are on) is normal speed. so how is that possible? :D

Could be multi-function switch. They cause some weird issues, like mine is, on intermittent wiper, it swipes up to 6 times in a row on lowest setting, sometimes it swipes on startup and occasionally won’t turn off. I have read issues where the blinkers work inside but not outside, others have commanded right signal and the left activates and vise versa. It’s something to check out. Part is 70$

Multi-function switch change tried. Didn’t work. Damn I don’t what to do. And I don’t remember what resistors I did use.

So I’m now going to try change all original.

Can you tell me exactly what kind of light bulbs are there original?

Is there anywhere else resistors or something like that what could be broken?
