Default Rapid blinking turn signal

Recently when I turn my right turn signal on my 2006 Mustang, the rear turn signal lights blinks very rapidly, more so than the left one.

The light does operate and blink, so will changing the bulb or a fuse correct the problem or do you think there another connection that's gone bad?

Or do I bring it into the Ford dealer and say "Fix, please" ?

one of your bulbs went out.

check your front turn signal to see if it is blinking

All signals, front and rear are working and blinking, except that all the lights for the right turn signal(front, rear, dashboard) blink rapidly.

Check all the fillaments in the bulbs because mustangs have a sensor that makes it blink faster when a bulb is bad. I noticed this when i swapped my original amber bulbs for LED bulbs but im ok with the rapid blinking

Tail Lights have two filaments in them.
One for the blinker and one for the lights.
The system is set up so a change in electrical load will cause the blinker to blink at a rapid rate to let the driver know that a bulb is out.
Sometimes the bulb may look like it is working but the resistance has changed enough that the system will see it as a burned out bulb.
This has happened to me before. All bulbs were working, even the brake lights. I replaced the blinker module and no fix. Took it in and the mechanic explained all that to me then asked me if I really wanted to pay them to change out a bulb. I left, thanks to him.
Hope that helps.
George.
