I've seen with other cars when one of the lights goes out that the blinker blinks faster. Don't know if that's the case here.

Me too. And, like you, I'm not sure if that's the problem here. I think that's applicable to the bi-metal type flashers, not the solid state type.

My gut feeling is that the flasher is simply defective in this case.

Can't hurt to check/clean/tighten all relevant connections and grounds, though.

Cheers

Most of the times, when windows don't work properly, it's because of corroded contacts in the switches on the skislope or in the wiring loom inside the door.

Removing every single fuse and replacing them for the correct new ones without the paper inserts, after cleaning the contacts in the fuse boxes, can resolve a lot of intermittent electrical problems. I tend to start out with pulling new ground wires to the body, when something doesn't work. Solves the problem most of the times.....
