It sounds like your directional signal switch is going bad. I would suggest you take it to a Mazda dealer and see if it needs to be replaced. My thinking is that for a 1998 it has see a little bit of action. A good local mechanic should be able to diagnose and repalce it as well. Call them first to see what they say. If you are savvy you may take it to have it checked out and if it needs to be replaced and the part is quite expensive, oftentimes they may let you shop the part online and then bring it in to be installed. I would not recommend this approach in working with a dealership.

You need to replace the flasher module, this is the module that controls the "Blinking" function of the lights, its a mostly a common part that you can get at any auto parts store for less than 10 bucks and is located in the Fuse panel under the dash, its round in shape in one corner of the panel. mostly they are green in color.

Conrad, up north.
My protege is a '99. The turn signals and hazard flashers use the same flasher unit. It is located under the dash to the left of the steering wheel and above and a bit to the right right of the driver's side fuse box.
SOURCE: need the fuse box diagram
the fuse box lid normally has a diagram on it there is a fuse box under the dash on the driver side and there is one under the hood as well.and if it does not have a diagram stop by the dealer in the parts department and they can print you one if you have an owner manual there is one in there also.

There can be a misfire too from the cylinders.
An engine that
hesitates, stumbles or misfires when accelerating or when
it is under load is an engine that is either sucking too much air, not
getting enough fuel or misfiring. If the Check Engine Light comes on,
you may find any of the following codes:
• P0171, P0174 Lean
fuel condition codes
• P0120 to P0124 Throttle position sensor codes
•
P0222 to P0229 Throttle position sensor codes
• P0400 to P0409 EGR
related codes
If there are no misfire codes, a common cause of
acceleration stumble is a bad throttle position sensor (TPS). The TPS
tells the computer how far the throttle is open. The computer uses this
information to determine how much fuel is needed to maintain the correct
air/fuel mixture and when extra fuel is needed if the throttle suddenly
opens wide.
Another common cause is dirty fuel injectors. If
varnish deposits have built up in the tips of the injectors, they won’t
spray as much fuel as they normally do, or will “dribble” fuel instead
of spraying a fine mist. This creates a lean fuel mixture and
conditions that are ripe for stumble and hesitation (also misfire). Look
at short term fuel trim (STFT) and long term fuel trim (LTFT) with your
scantool.
If the numbers are high, it tells you the engine is running lean and
the injectors need cleaning. Treat mild cases with a high quality
fuel-injector cleaner additive. Severe cases require professional
cleaning equipment.
Also if this sensors apply to your
vehicle, camshaft sensor or
crankshaft sensor if sensors bad you don't get any spark. Also
run a scan on the car.
Good
luck and rate this solution,
please.
