Turn Signals Not Working

My car's front turn signals work, but the rear ones do not. The fuses and bulbs are good. The flashers on the dash blink fast. What could be the problem?

It could be the turn signal mechanism in your steering column. If you don't have a mechanic or friend that works on cars to talk to, or an acquaintance at your church, you can go into a Pep Boy, Advanced Auto, High Gear or some other parts store in your area and ask the counter man. Nine times out of ten they will know the problem or one of their co-workers will. At Pep Boys they would go out and ask a mechanic if none of the counter people had a clue. You can also go to a dealership for your vehicle and talk to their mechanics. They can usually give you an idea of what the problem is. I seem to recall I had a similar problem with a Chevy Van and it was the switch in the column but I am not exactly sure.
