old_s13 is an unknown quantity at this point
Take a look at ALL of your bulb contacts for the signal circuit, clean every signal/parking lamp bulb connection. The current flasher module is load-dependent, rapid flashing is an indication of a bulb that is not drawing enough current, a dead bulb, or a close to dead bulb. If you are using the wrong wattage bulb, that will also effect the blinking rate since the flasher is designed to work with a certain amount of load.

If you are an absolute lazy bastard, you can go to Pep Boys and purchase a solid-state flashing module.. they are 2-prong. They arent as good quality but they definately do the job and are inexpensive. BUT, since your flashing module is probably fine.. I would highly recommend making sure ALL your contacts are super strong. That *will* fix the problem.

Good luck,
- Mike
