Default problem with my blinkers (sorry it's long)

made a left turn with the blinker on and hit a small bump and the blinker started to flash real quick. common sense told me that a bulb just went out. sure enough, pulled over with the blinker on and saw that the main bulb wasn't coming on. made a trip to wally world and bought some new bulbs. problem fixed... or so i thought... as i came to my turn to my house, i put on my right blinker. and it came on blinking fast as it did before with the left. so i got home and took out the new bulb and saw that the filament that blinks was still good. and on top of that, parking lights still come on... but no blinker. then when i went back out of my road (which is gravel and bumpy) the right blinker began to blink at a normal interval but then it went fast then slow, then fast, etc... so i thought a bad connection was ocurring, but, i don't know where it is. I've checked the sockets where the bulbs plug in, but they look clean. please help me, it's embarrasing with fast blinking turn signals

Your blinker module could be to blame. Have you checked it?

To be honest, I don't even know where they are in our trucks. Fuse panels probably.

Or you could just be low on blinker fluid.
