Strange right/front indicator and no right/front parking light
Shortly speaking when I turn on hazards they work fine - only right front bulb don`t work, when I switch right indicator alone it flashes very fast (rear and right side) but front right still doesn`t. Left indicator works godd in normal way. Bulb is ok. Battery ground is ok. Fuses ok. I also checked indicator switch aln clean it so it is ok too. Flasher board looks like new. I didn`t use my car for many months but before everything was ok. What can happend?
Also when I turn on lights in first position on headlight switch all lights work only right front doesn`t, but when I change to second position 2 headlights and all lights including right front work. I checked headlight relay and it works only when I turn on headlight switch in second position. I am thinking to connect another separate wire from left side but maybe there is other way. Any suggestions?

Replace the burnt out bulb and it won't flash rapidly no 'mo.
I read the post twice. I don't understand. IF you turn the headlight switch on position.....the side lights front and rear should come on. Headlights should not come on. Put the switch to the second position and the headlights come up and come on is what should happen.
What makes one think that putting the headlight switch to the first positon would make the headlight relay pull in??? and headlights come on?

I just went through something similar on my FC. I finally figured it out when I removed the lens cover and found that the same filament on the bulb would light whether I was using the turn signal or the parking lights. The turn signal would flash even faster when the parking lights were on as well.
Long story short the lamp housing was cracked and and I was not getting a good ground. I replaced the lamp housing and everything works properly now.

HAILERS: I described it when headlights are up constantly by using middle button on headlight switch... but it is not important... to be more precize... (main button) first position on switch in that situation - I mean parking lights are on, second - headlights are on... it doesn`t matter that they are up I can also take them down by middle button and on second position they come up and will light....but problem is that front/right parking bulb work only when switch is on second position (on first all other neccesary lights around car work good only front/right doesn`t).
I opened headlight relay... looking good... but when headlight switch is on 1st. position (when parking lights should work and only front/right parking light doesn`t) sticks in relay do not touch, but when I touch stick in relay manually bulb start to flash but it is only when I touch it... when I change to 2nd position on switch all lights which are necessary work and sticks in relay are together (I see it and hear that sound). So this is the first problem.
With indicator situation is similar front/right do not work and when I take right side and rear flashes fast but front no. Hazards work on normal speed (right/front bulb still doesn`t). Switch is ok, I clear it inside, fuses ok. Bulb is also ok.
I hope now is clear. Sorry if I make any doubts in translation.
2 3D SC maybe you are rigt - I have to check it.
Any other suggestions?

Well another electric miracles story... today I started engine after many months being unused (to check if maybe my problems disappear when alternator give current) and it started after second cranking perfectly. It was nice but another problem occured. When I pull illumination light (engine not working) which is in indicator switch as second function - my all warning lights in that moment are ON. What is also curious when I touched headlight leveling button rigt/front indicator bulb started to light

Hello rotary fellows,
Looks like my problem is solved
My car mechanic who change my right headlight motor last summer made little mess with wires (after that I didn`t use my car). After proper connecting now (almost) everything is ok. I wrote almost because I also have to change dimmer relay and headlight leveling switch which stop working because of mentioned wires mess (probably improper current made this like said my electrician)
Looks like my problem is solved
