What does it mean when I turn my left blinker on and it blinks twice as fast as the right turn blinker? Looks like all the bulbs are working too. Any ideas?

It means you have to make left turns twice as fast?.  Could be the flasher going, or one or both of the bulbs could be high resistance (near blowing) Check all connections.....try new bulbs anyway......then you'll have spares if they're ok.

I think the flasher operates on current flow, and will blink faster when it flows more current, and the bi-metal heats up faster.
I suspect you have a bulb that draws more current due to lowered resistance. Check the bulbs to see that they are the correct type, and if that checks, measure the resistance across the bulb base terminals. They should be close. If one has significantly less resistance, try replacing with a new bulb.
The other choice is wires that have resistance or are partially shorting, but not quite enough to blow a fuse or the blinker/flasher.
