try replacing the can anyhow, i had dramas with mine, otherwise
check your bulbs are grounded properly and trace back from there
or just stop turning left

Check your Blinker Fluid

True, may need to change to a semi synthetic Blinker Fluid.
Seriously, I would try another flasher can first, they are only cheap

i've got a similar thing on my zook... cept sometimes it works all good, and sometimes it barely lights up at all... is just right hand one. was all bad, then i cleaned one earth and now it's sometimes good.... gotta chase down all the earths when i get time. isn't the bulbs tho...
maybe our rigs have come to an agreement that we should only have one working set of blinkers between us. we could tie the two of them together so u can signal right, and i can signal left

Daz I had a similar problem and i found it to be in the actual blinker lever it was contacting properly when flicked one way. Word of advise though if you pull it apart watch out for the spring and ballbearing

most likely you have an earth or partial earth on the LHS indicator circuit..

Most flasher cans don't have left or right circuits. They are on the input circuit to the indicator switch. So if the RH indicator works then the fault will not be the flasher can.

Just an update if your interested i asked an auto elec mate in the club on wed night where i should start looking as i turn the hazard lights on when i refit the blinkers on the gards as i take them off often he said turn the hazard lights on and off a few times then see. He was correct that fixed it alls good again no flasher cam etc and just for the record one globe blown dose not effect the whole side on a 40 thanks for the feed back have a good one poeple
