Does the left front signal light work? Properly or blinks real fast?

If the right front blinks fast then you may have a bad ground connection in the bulb socket or perhaps some corrosion.

It took awhile to get back to you because it was working fine. Then I was just out to check again and it was out in back and blinking fast in the front. I checked the right blinker front with the left front and the left was much faster. Once again tried the wack it method with no luck.

The bulb socket may have a bad connection. Get a test light probe and verify that power is getting to the socket connection while this trouble is happening.

When I open the door the lights on the car automatically come on. The rear left blinker light comes on it is just a random blinker problems.
