Red face Left turn signal not working

Hey guys need help on my 2nd gen rx7 the left turn signal won't flash I head the flasher going fast like a burnt bulb but I checked them all already I replaced the switch on the dash, put new fuse in and replaced all the bulbs but still nothing. When I turn on the hazards the left one stays off and the right ones work. When I turn the left signal on it clicks fast but no lights front or back come on or on the dash and ideas

Does it light up when you turn on your running lights (without activating the turn signal)? If so, replace the bulb.

Edit: Nevermind, saw that you had replaced it. Check wiring.

If not the flasher cpu then check for a bad signal bulb socket. I would check to make sure the bulb is making full contact with the socket and that the socket itself is free from corrosion and is serviceable.

..and make sure the proper bulbs are indeed where they should be.
Some have one filament (2 wire..say reverse light?) and some have 3 (3 wire..like brakes,signals)
