Signal light is flashing at hyperspeed

My car recently is signaling super fast when I signal to the Right. When I signal left it is normal and when I use the hazard button it is normal as well.

Now the front flashing indicator on the right is a little dim but it is not from the bulb. I traded bulbs left to right, same thing happened. I bought new bulbs and the same thing happened.

No other bulbs are burnt out. I know the system runs on resistance and it thinks that there is a bulb out, but there isn't. I was told it could be the flasher canister (if it has one) or a ground wire is not doing it's job.

My three questions:

1) what else could it be?

2) Is our car equipped with a flasher canister?

3) How do I go about checking the ground wire?
