My car is possesed

Tonight I was getting gas and I came up to a stop light and hit the turn signal (left one) and it flashes slowly as it always does then stops completly. I play with the turn signal swich and nothing changes I turn off my headlights still nothing I turn my headlights back on still nothing. next I turn off the turn signal then back on agen and it is barly blinking. The light changes so I start going and it blinking normaly. it worked fine the rest of the way home. BTW the right side worked fine the whole time. Any hints would be great.

check the ground at the body and socket itself along with the bulb, give them all a good cleaning and give it a shot. my 83 use to blink fine untill had the lights on and then nothing. turned out to be hte front turn singal ground wire was loose in the socket. also you might try your four ways and see what happens might help narrow down the problem. if it works fine with the four ways the switch might be bad. good luck!

my friend had an integra before he got a real car. his right blinker blinked very fast for a while and i didn't know what the heck it was. when we changed the bulb it was back to normal, blinked normally and everything.
