Electrical issue with Renault Clio

I have a weird problem with the left-rear indicator on my 2009 Renault Clio. Every time I use the left indicator, it clicks and flashes (on the dash) too fast, and the left-rear bulb is not flashing.

However, when I open up the tail-light enclosure to check the bulb and then use the indicator, it starts working normally. After a while though, it goes back to clicking too fast and not flashing on the left rear bulb.

I know it's not the bulb itself as I just replaced it and have tried it with another spare bulb I have.

Additionally, the hazards work fine, the left rear bulb flashes exactly as it's supposed to when the hazards are on.

Earth problem. Probably the earth to the repeater indicator in the wing that side.
