    So today my left turn signal started blinking twice as fast as normal?

    Could it be as simple as a fuse going bad or should I be worried it's a bigger deal/issue?

    Anyone know the problem and how to fix?

    Much appreciated :))

    That is a vehicles way of letting you know you have a turn signal bulb out, it’s called hyper flash. Turn on the turn signal and get out and look and you’ll see which one needs replacing.

    Usually I believe that means there is a bulb out someplace.

    Likely a bad bulb, have you checked your turn signal bulbs.

    Try cleaning the bulb contacts and wire plug before replacing it. Worked for me.

    I used to have a 2003 Nissan Frontier v6 crew cab . I had since new in 04 and sold it
    in 2016 and never replaced a single bulb. in 88K miles. I did tow my 17 foot bow rider
    with it and it was a heavy boat. I would not even try that with this Tacoma I have now.
    just saying.

    I had a fog light out the other day. I swapped the bulbs side to side to check the wiring and they both are working now. A couple of $ saved.
