Default another turn signal failure

My front pass. side turn signal blinker does not work. the side does not lite up when its supposed to be blinkin. also the lights that work on that side blink faster to tell u one of the bulbs may be out.
So i ckecked the bulb and replaced the bulb "holder" cause the original was corrodid. this did not fix it. the light DOES come on as part of the night driving lights but does not blink...all the rest of the bulbs work fine.
Ive STF and found the hazard switch relay is likley... any comments appreciated.

Default bulb, connection or wiring

Since the other blinkers work and you got rapid blinking, I would rule out the relay and the switch, but would suspect the bulb, connection or corrosion in the wiring near the connector.

Not sure, but sometimes the bulb must be inserted one way, so you might have the bulb upside down. Also you can use a multimeter to check for voltage at the connector and the wiring harness.

I replaced the hazard switch and started with fresh bulbs from Audi (5 bux each WTF!). at first my probelm was not fixed. so i turned the bulb holder back a bit and found a "sweet spot" where it works. twisting the holder bout half way instead of all the way fixed it....who knows. Thanks Audi.
