I replaced both front headlight assemblies. After connecting all the wires and then testing all of the lights. Everything lit up fine. Then tested the turn signals and found that the driver side turn signal was flashing fast. I then checked that all the connections where ok. Still flashing fast. Then checked for loose wires. Nothing, no corrosion and everything seems right. Just cannot figure it out.

Cars this new use electronic flashers that flash real fast when not enough current is flowing through them. That is caused by a burned-out bulb, (or a wiring problem related to it), or you switched to some LED bulbs. Compare the lights on the left to those on the right, front and back, and look for one that isn't lighting up. If you are using LED bulbs, it's just luck that the one side is drawing just enough current for the flasher to work right. There are resistors you can add to make up for the current draw of the old bulbs.
