I had this happen with my 81 5000 Turbo.  When the left turn indicator would
flash at a very fast rate it meant that the left rear turn indicator wasn't
working.  My problem turned out to be a bad connection between the main plug
that plugged into the back or bottom of the plastic assembly holding the
lights.  I would occasionally clean the contacts and put a bent plastic
straw in the contact so that it would make a better contact.

Does this help

Thanks to those who responded on my questions about pentosin leaks/dying
steering rack.  The bomb check out ok, and I have been driving daily this
week-no signs of significant leaks thus far.  Any more hints for diagnosing
pentosin leaks?

Thanks,

P.S.  Why did my left turn signal go from it's normal flash rate to a
faster one yesterday?  Back to normal this morning.????
