It's the module built into the signal light/bank angle, alarm if you have that telling you the resistance is low. It thinks a bulb is burnt out.

Do you have the diode modula in the rear harness for brake/run and all red lens in the back ?

My experience with burnt bulbs or change in resistance is it speeds the lights up. But I would check everything.

Being that the opposite light comes on, I wonder tsm. Hazard switch?

I would check bulbs, take apart anything done lately, and with loose see if problem persists.

Yes, to your peril. Lol You witty and superfluous individual you, legend in your own mind I say.
To the OP, have you or previous owner installed LED bulbs? If so was a LED equalizer module installed?
