Your flasher unit is located in your "ECM" as the Haynes manual calls it. Its basically a very primative PCM unit Mazda put in. In that larger black box there should be a removable relay; that is your flasher unit.

You may have to order it as its not exactly an off the shelf type of part by looking at it.

Good Luck.

You need to check your grounds and bulbs both front and rear. When the indicator lights show that the bulbs are flashing rapidly it is usually an indication of either a bad ground circuit at the front or rear or bad bulbs either front or rear. Verify that when you signal to the left and right that the bulbs are lighting up both in the front and rear of the vehicle.
