If you’ve replaced the bulbs, then the wires could be messed up. I just replaced mine and the light works, just won’t blink. However inside the care when I put the right turn signal on it still blinks fast, due to the wire being bad. There is 3 wires for your blinker check all 3 if one is bad then, that should solve the rapid blinking. Also it will get the light working. Hope it helps.
