Blinker issue

So, it's only happening with my right blinker. But the weird part is that the first blink after I hit the brakes is totally normal. But if I really stomp on the brake pedal, it starts blinking super fast. After it rains, it goes crazy fast!

I already swapped out the bulbs and the blinker relay, so that ain't it. So, do you guys know what's going on here? 'Cause I think it might be the brake light switch, or maybe some wires need redoing, and then maybe even a whole new taillight thingy in the back.

Anyone got any ideas or suggestions? This is driving me nuts!

I think you should go on and check out the wires, you're prolly right about needing some redoing. Or could be the fuse.

It sounds like you might be dealing with a classic moisture or grounding problem. If things start acting up more after rain and heavy braking,I'd recommend checking the tail light housing for any water and taking a look at the ground wire for corrosion. Nice job on already swapping the bulbs and the relay! While you're at it,it might be worth testing that brake light switch too. I hope it turns out to be an easy fix
 
If the problem is moisture, you're gonna be taking apart that taillight and resealing it. If you're not into the hassle, try to find a used one, preferably that doesn't leak

What's the update on this? Considering the suggestions of the people here. I also figured it's a moisture problem and that's quite complicated to deal with. But it looks like you're a handy person anyway, so it would not be that difficult as opposed to when done by a normal person.
