Right Turn Signal Not Working
My left turn signal and hazard lights work.
However, when I try the right turn signal, there's no clicking noise, and it doesn't work. I also get one long beep.
What can it be? I already checked the firebox, and it looks fine. Does the firebox need to be soldered?
or is it some thing else? Please advise~ thanks

I'd suggest the flasher board in the CPU might be bad.
But instead of following the parts swapper trouble shooting method (dumb *** method at best), get a meter out and the wiring diagram. Put the key to ON and select the right turn signal. Backprobe the wire in the CPU for the right turn signal (it's either the green/red or green/yellow wire in the plug shown in the second jpg attached), and see if your getting power from the turn signal lever. If you do get power when RIGHT is selected, and hear no clicking of the flasher, buy another board for the CPU.
I take it this is a series four car and here is the wiring diagram. CPU is near your left foot. Three elect plugs. You could try reflowing the solder at the pins on the flasher board i.e. the pins where the plug mates with the boards jack.
I know not which wire is right or left. It's one or the other.
The CPU board can be bought seperately at Mazdatrix or any other Mazda parts dealer.
It virtually has to be either the flasher or a cold solder joint at where the plug mates with the jack. I mean you have no right turn indicator on the dash flashing, do you? No. Because the input to that indicator is After the flasher unit. But you probably do have a dash indicator light for the left signal since it does work.

I'm having a similar problem: my right flasher(F&R) seems to be consistantly on when i turn the parking lights on. When the switch is activated for a right turn, i can hear the flasher clicking, but it is rapid as if the bulb is out. In addition the indicator light on the dash is on.
Without parking lights the flasher still clicks in the same manner; however the indicator light nor the bulb itself are lit.
My left side turn signals work fine...
Any thoughts?
thanks,
Thomas
