Anyone else had this happen?

I tried a search on this and couldn't find anything helpful, so here it is.

Yesterday I was driving around and noticed that my RHS turn signal had started flashing at twice its normal frequency (LHS continued as normal). I checked all the bulbs, and they're fine. This morning, both blinkers are normal.

I looked through the shop manual and couldn't find any mention of this as a diagnostic signal for anything.

I have silver flasher bulbs installed on all 4 corners, and had just put in new front springs and sway bar when this started.

Just wondering if anyone out there has seen this before, or knows what it means before I try the dealer.

Typically a fast flasher indicates that a bulb is out. Could just be a loose connection with one of your new bulbs or an electrical problem.
