R F turn signal not working - bulb OK (low intensity when locking doors work)

Hi all,
2005 6MT Acura TL No mods except suspension and brakes
Front right turn signal bulb works when locking the doors (low intensity) but will not flash at high intensity (for turn signal use). Car recognizes by flashing quickly on the right. Right rear and sidemarkers work fine.
Sometimes when I hit a bump the right front turn signal will resume proper functioning. Makes me think there are some electronics that regulate high/low bulb intensity that may be loose. Any help locating said part would be greatly appreciated. Love the car she takes a beating and drives great.

Right turn signal will hyper flash when the right front turn signal light or right rear turn signal are inoperative. If you have already replace both lights with the proper replacement lights then your going to have to look into power and ground and fuses.
