i'm trying to figure out why the right blinker now flashes with a much faster frequncy than it did before the accident. Here are the details.

Minor fender bender last Friday night where the front passenger headlight and blinker were both busted out (no body damage thankfully!). On the way home, the headlight bulb was still working even though the big lense cover was completely broken. Also, the passenger side blinker lense cover was completely busted out and one of the two bulb holders was gone..and there was a loose wire where the headlight bracket had severed the blinker wire. I noticed at this point that when I used the right blinker, the frequency of the flasher was faster than before the mishap, and was also faster than the driver side blinker. I figured that since the damage hadn't been fixed yet (blinker wire severed, bulb busted out, etc) that this was to be expected. Today, I replaced the headlamp assembly and bracket, connected the two connectors (headlight and blinker) to the new fresh wiring on the new assembly and the flash frequency is still too fast when I turn on the passenger side blinker. I swapped light bulbs between the driver and passenger side front blinkers and still the passenger side flashes too fast.

Do these cars have separate driver and passenger side flashers? Is it possible that the accident also caused damage to the flasher in the dash? Ideas?
