Default blinker problems

I am installing new front blinkers on my 06 deuce and for some reason the right blinker works fine but the left blinker blinks ok the first 3 times then it starts blinking fast. I dont know what is going on. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have seen this happen just before the light burns out.

More than likely, you have a bad ground internal of the Lamp assy.....

Did you remove the lamp socket from the T/S Housing?

The socket plunger at the bottom of the lamp (2 nubs), could be off centered, and will not allow the current to flow correctly......

Remove the bulb and check to see that the plunger is lined up correctly (Slot in Groove).....
