Hope some 1 can help

I have a 2011 ford focus my rear indicator has stopped working changed the bulb checked the contracts still nothing

 

When you put the stalk down the wing mirror an front indicator bling twice as fast as normal. Also it doesn't work when I put the hazards on 

 

Any help would be appreciated I've seen a few threads on here but none have a definite answer

    A common problem is the earth tab in the side of the lamp holder gets pushed too far in and doesn't make contact.

    The ground tab in the lamp holder is not protruding far enough out and is not making contact with the side of the bulb.

    It just needs eased out a few millimeters with a small screwdriver.
