are all the actual signals outside blinking? usually when one goes fast it means somewhere a lamp is burned out. check to see if the signals outside are actually flashing.

Ok so the front and rear on all 4 corners are lighting up. Could it be the relay in the fuse panel inside the cab??

if they're all working why worry about it? Don't mean to sound like a jerk, but don't fix whats not broken. Do keep an eye on them though, sometimes blinking fast is an indication of a bad ground that they only blink sometimes (My RV did that)

All of my blinkers do that, I haven't worried about it too much, all the bulbs are working, it's just that fast "something isn't right" flash.

That must be it, the blinker fluid dipstick is sitting in the drivers seat if you want to check it

Also sometimes they blink fast to let you know that one is about to burn out. I'd just wait until something doesn't work, but yeah, I can see how that would be annoying.
