I would do some more research on your problem.  a flasher unit does not 
send it's signal to each light separately, so if your rear signal is 
working, or if the signals to the right are working, then your flasher 
is working.  you may have a problem with the contacts in the bulb 
socket, a bad connection to the socket somewhere, or simply have a bad bulb.

Good luck

You can usually pull the flasher relay unit off the car. Remove the cover 
and then clean and adjust the contacts.
Then test before re installing the unit.

I have a front left directional out and have traced it back to a bad Flasher 
relay.

TIA,

Hi Randy, by "traced it back to a bad Flasher relay." I presume that you
have determined that there is no intermittent power on the #2 terminal of
the flasher relay.

The fault is probably slightly worn points inside the relay. Sometimes you
will find that just applying a little pressure to the top of the #2
terminal will be enough to start the lamp flashing. (use your 12 volt test
probe).If that works then worn points are definitely the issue.

Getting the flasher unit out to repair it is 90% of the job. Often without
removing it and a little higgery pokery you can bend the offending terminal
very slightly to have it make contact reliably.

Do you know a good mechanic ;-).
