Could be either one, or neither.  Some flashers run faster for too little
current, some run faster for too much.

You're just looking for something that makes one side draw more current than
the other.  This could include things like a bulb installed wrong, lamp
holder wired wrong, short between the terminals at a lamp (does anything odd
happen with either brake lights or tail lights on?), etc.

ISTR Jonmac even reported tracing his similar problem to a wire that was
corroded inside the insulation and thus presenting a higher resistance.
