Only for people who read the owner's manual (page 41 for the '89):
"If a turn signal fails, the indicator light flashes about twice as
fast.  A light bulb may have to be replaced."

It's common behavior with many (most?  all?) bimetal-type flashers,
but the Vanagon is the only vehicle I've owned that mentions it in the manual.

Yrs,
