My guess would be the contacts inside the flasher relay (box mounted on the 
inside of the LF inner fender).  Try disconnecting the green/white wire from 
terminal 6 on this relay, and put 12v on this wire.  If the bulb lights, the 
contact points in the flasher relay need to be cleaned/adjusted.  I think 
there is a difference between BJ8 and BN7 wiring IMHO, don't know for sure, 
but I work on BN7/BT7 cars.
