I have a 2005 UK spec Mazda RX8 231 and for the last 6 months or so I have noticed a very intermittent problem with my indicators.
Firstly when I turn the indicator stalk down (for left) the indicator always works perfectly. However, when I turn the stalk up (for right) the light may flash once or twice and then stop blinking (and clicking) and the indicator won't work.
Sometimes the right indicator is permanently on (even when I have turned engine off and locked the car.) Sometimes the indicator works normally, but when it has a problem it is always the right indicator, never the left.
When I turn the hazard lights on the left indicator is fine and the right is often still not working. When I lock the car the lights flash once to tell me its locked - again the right indicators rarely flash.
Mazda ran a diagnostics (£40) 2 weeks ago to check something else and reported no problems with the indicators (I asked them to have a look.) I took the car to them today as I am fed up with sometimes turning right with no signal. They now want to charge me £50 to diagnose the problem I have (and then probably charge the earth to repair it) any ideas on a diagnosis and potential costs would be greatly appreciated!
I have checked the bulbs visually from outside the car and when the indicators work, they all work perfectly so I don't think a bulb has gone.
