Blinker issue

I have this problem at the moment.. my right front indicator will not work at all. when i use Hazards the cluster is normal (with no front flash) but when i use the right turn signal, it flashes faster at the cluster after the suggested fix and it still doesn't flash at the front of the car..
I have re checked everything and im now trying to source a new "blinker box", but to no avail.. any other suggestions before I import one?

I have tried to reply to the thread i found awesome pics for the fix but cos im a noob, i cant reply..

By "blinker box" do you mean a relay? if that went bad then you should hear some eratic clicking from where the relay is located. A new one of those should be a cheap junk yard part at best and a cheap autozone part at worst. No need to import.

If you still don't know what this is, the troubleshooting order for this is: Bulb, Fuse, Relay, Wiring.

Good luck!

i have heard the fast erratic clicking.. I'll have to go over the wiring again and a possible overhaul and see if that fixes before doing anything drastic.. is there another relay from another make of car or sister Mazda that would do the job as spares in Oz are becoming rather scarce for this car..

this may sound retarded..... my old corolla did that when a bulb blew. Try check all your bulbs from forward to aft. replace and see what happens
