Am very disappointed in the oldest car in our fleet, an imported Mazda 626 LPG.
After only 411K, the indicators are packing up...And it's just out of warranty too...:(
First it was the RH ones were intermittant, either fine or a sound of rapid clicking. Then degenerated to 'rarely worked', - but operating HAZARD switch got all 4 flashing normally along with L and R green tell-tales on the dash.
Now, the HAZARDS will only operate the good side, LEFT. Only the L tell-tale lights up.
On LH indicators, clicking is normal rate and both LH globes light up plus green tell-tale.
On RH indicators, there a rapid clicking, and neither globe light up NO tell-tale.
Indicator switch is sending power to the LH and RH circuits as it should. - checked with a test-lamp.
RH rear globe is ok, have'nt got at the front RH yet.
I can't see the Sons of Nippon using two flasher relays? - Unlikely but...
What do you think I'm mis ing in my investigations...?. (almost left off the last 3 words :p)
