The electric window could either be the fuse,switch, or window regulator motor at fault..Sometimes the window motor electric plug can vibrate loose or become loose from door slamming..Also the switch can become loose as well or contamination if you are lucky..You will have to remove door panel to inspect these components..and fuse panel..The light could be a faulty bulb..Check and replace bulb..before involving the signal indicator switch lever...If bulb is at fault go ahead and change bulbs at both rear sides..Do not try to repair signal switch because of air bag..If you can hold down on the turn signal switch and it works the switch is at fault...

Flasher relay location Pontiac Bonneville 2004 removal and installation.

If the right side works it's not your flasher, Its your left side bulb, either front turn signal or rear tail light bulb.

1995 huyndai excel, lost power to left side park light, tail light and dash light any reason why?

Recheck your work. Pull the connector off at the flasher and inspect it before plugging it back in. Not much room to work under there in an Excel? Maybe you pulled a wire loose somewhere? Kinda weird, cause the park, tail, and dash lights are all operated by the headlight switch, no relation to the turn signals and flasher relay. Or do you mean the left indicator light on the dash? That would make me think the flasher connection again, or the left side wires up under there. H H, josh...happy ha ha, merry christmas.

No indicators working found fuse box which fuse?

When you are talking about "indicators" we could assuming that your are refer about signal lights. This work with "flashers" devices.

For 1996 Audi A4 2.8L SFI 6cyl the Flasher is located in front seating area, driver side, under dash, behind dash lower panel, mounted above driver side of steering column.

About generic fuses, open the driver side door. Remove panel on left side of dash. Fuse box is behind panel:

Rear llight on driver side not working. Brake light, reversing light & indicator all work. Housing unit & loom checked OK

There are very few design flaws in the e46 (window regulators, sunroof guides). You just found one of them. BMW put dissimilar metals in the plug and pins in the tail light, and corrosion results. The ground connection corrodes long before the others. Cleaning it is a temporary fix. Replacing the tail light is a temporary fix. Adding a second ground connection is a permanent fix.
In the ground trace on the back of that tail light, you will find a tab for a spade fitting. Make an extra ground wire about 6" long with a spade fitting on one end and a loop on the other end that fits on one of the bolts that holds the tail light in. Do both tail lights while you are at it.
Actually, this was probably not so much a design flaw but rather a case where the plug and the tail light were made by two different suppliers who did not communicate their material selections to each other.

2004 Accord, left turn signal out, no indicator on dash, replaced both bulbs. Does signal flasher have seperate circuits for left and right side?

No, no seperate system. Your problem is generally caused by a burned out bulb, bad ground at tail light. A bad flasher would affect both sides. Front and rear must be good. Ck flasher plug in. Good Luck
