Its usually a bulb out on the circuit if its flashing fast on one side. Check front , rear and side repeaters are all working on that side.

Thank you, Nearside are flashing, but very dull intensity. I thought that if a bulb was gone , it would’ve been out completely.

You're probably going to have to pull each bulb and see what makes them come back to full brightness (bit of a guess) See which bulb or holder is playing up.
At least, that's what I'd do

Sounds like you have corrosion on one of the bulb holders.
As catman said it working out which one is the issue. Easiest way i would suggest is take out the side repeater first and and then check if the other bulbs come back to full brightness.
If the front and rear go back to full brightness then thats your problem. They can hold water even between the inner and out perspex layer. Its likely the ticker sound will still be fast. If no change then put it back.
If its not the side repeater then go in the boot and you can access the rear light cluster on that faulty side. Pull the plug and see if the brightness goes back to normal. If nothing changes then you will have to pull the front indicator. Hardest to get to hence i suggest you check that last unless there is evidence of water ingress there already.

I had a problem some years ago with a similar fault. Turned out to be water in the bottom of the boomerang rear light. Looking at it close you could see dampness. Bottom three LED's were not working when flashing fast. I have found a solution All the best
