Well, in response to my own question about double time on the
flashers. I quess I should have used the Google search at the
DMCNEWS site. Heres what I found and it worked.

Subject: Fast turn signal
A few weeks ago I posted a message about my "blankety-blank" blinker.
All
the bulbs were good, flasher unit was good, and I performed the "nut
&
bolt" tail light modification, still the left turn signal blinked
twice
as fast as the left. I took aprt the front turn signal housing and
socket. A little corroded, but not bad, but I cleaned it out anyway.
No
luck. The more aI played with it I noticed that if I held the
bulb "just
right", it would work fine. It was too loose in the socket, it
appeared.
I had the factory original bulbs, so I know the bulb was right for
the
application. Too make along story short, I very slightly squeezed the
socket at the open end with a pair of pliers, making it VERY SLIGHTLY
oval shaped. The bulb fits snugly, but is easily removable and it
works
GREAT again. Probably not the "right" way to fix it, but it works.
