So my front drivers side turnbsignal will turn on but when i want it to flash( blink, whatever) it only stays on. This isnt happening to the other side. Also the back drivers blinks faster than the passenger side turn signal. Whats going on? Help would be appreciated.

Sounds like the flasher is bad, it's incorporated into the hazard switch. You could try cleaning contacts first, otherwise it'll need replaced. This is provided you have halogen bulbs, if you're trying to use LED bulbs that brings its own set of issues.

Do your hazards work? If so its the flasher, NOT the OEM bulb. The only reason your blinker would stay on, is if the front AND the rear bulbs are out, and the other side has either the front or rear bulb is out causing hyper flash on one side, and a steady signal to the other.

By the first question, I mean to turn your hazards on and see which bulb(s) is(are) out

Also check the bulb sockets for contact issues. My Corolla had a wimpy socket that would sometimes flash fast even if the bulb was good.
