Default Hyper Blinkers, How to Fix!?

Okay, what causes blinkers to blink fast? Because at first I thought it was because I've wired the rears but had the front ones off... Causing it to hyper blink because the front ones were not connected to anything.

However, upon mounting my front ones today and wiring them... I test the blink and it still hyper blinks.

Anyone know the reason to hyperblinking? And how to rid it!?

Did you upgrade to LED bulbs? If so, LED's do not have enough electrical load to slow down an electronic flasher. You can buy inline resistors, or a resistor block and that will take care of your problem.

No these are regular bulbs.

You can install a regular flasher from autozone or pepboys.
I have a ZX12 and replaced the stock lights with a integrated tail and mini lights up front.

When that problem occurred to one of the indicator lights on my car the repair shop told me all she needed was a new bulb and that apparentlysolved the problem. Hope that's all it is.

Perhaps it's the difference between the four bulbs? I think they're the same. But I'll double check all four (fronts and rears) and ensure that they are the same type of bulbs.

It is just the bulb man... just like in cars when the bulbs about to go it'll blink faster and faster.. just replace your bulb for 2 bucks from autozone and your problem is solved

I found out why it was hyperblinking. The rear turn signals were aftermarket and came with three wires... since the bulb had two light-up wires within. Hooking it to one wire caused it to hyperblink while moving it to the other wire fixed it. Funny.. But glad it's solved. All fixed that to you guys and the direction you guys pointed me in.. Thanks!
