It sounds like it could be a bad flasher unit. If it works at first and then
speeds up when it gets hot, that's how the old bimetal flasher might fail.

>>>That's not a switch issue. When a turn signal blinks in double-time,
it's caused by one of the two turn signal bulbs being on the fritz.
Chances
are you've got schmeg in the connector between the turn signal harness and
the main wiring harness in the front, or where the wires connect to the lamp
itself.
Jack the car up, pull the wheels, pull the access panels, and clean all
your connections....and do the rears too, while you're at it. :>)
