Default 97 850 Turn Indicator Issue

Morning folks.
I picked up an 97 850 Sedan for the wife a couple of weeks back. Since I got it, it has had issues with the turning indicator. The left would do a delay, while the right would go fast. Also the bulb replacement warning light was on most of the time.

Yesterday I replaced both rear and front turn indicator bulbs. I also replaced the fuse.

So, now the left seems fine, but the right is still ticking fast. All the other bulbs seem fine.

To top it off the bulb replacement light is on, until I apply pressure to the brake pedal. Also at times the rear fog light indicator is on, even though the switch for it is turned off.

Anyone got any ideas?

Did you replace the flasher as well? Did you check to make sure that all the bulbs are, in fact, working as they should be? sometimes you can get corrosion in the sockets and they dont make an electrical connection. I'd start there.

As for the fog light indicator being on....sounds to me like the switch is starting to go bad. find another one in a junk yard and plug it in and see if that fixes the problem.
