Some months ago I was doing body work and removed the right, front signal light.  When I put it back I may have hooked up the wiring incorrectly and since then it flashes too fast -- similar to what happens when the other side's bulb is out.  But the left side's bulb is fine and flashes at a 'normal' rate.

============
A little before Halloween, the van was just sitting for a week with blinkers working fine.  Started it up.  Right flashed fast, left side normally.  Switched around bulbs and no change.  Found some pretty corroded contacts—connections cause at least 80% of electrical problems—and fixed the right side, then the left side flashed fast.  Not sure what I did to cause that.  Cleaned those contacts and fiddled around with bulbs some more and it mysteriously started working fine.
Trick or treat time and apparently I didn’t give it the treat it wanted.
