Your indicators flash fast because of the fact that your front bulbs aren't there. Basically, the flash relay uses the power usage of the bulbs to determine it's flash rate. This way, if a bulb blows, your indicators flash fast.

Once you put them back on (and ensure that the correct bulbs are in them), peace will be restored in the universe.
