What is the right front signal doing? If it's flashing real fast, the flasher is working properly and there's no need to go looking for relays and flashers. Unlike the old, cheap, reliable flashers of the past that flashed real slow or not at all if a bulb was burned out, these electronic flashers go real fast when a bulb is not working.

Start by plugging in the left rear housing on the right side. If the lights all work, you know the wiring in the body is ok, and the problem is in the right housing. If there is a ribbon cable or "printed cable" between the plug and sockets, inspect the copper circuits for any sign of burned spots or cracks, particularly where the copper traces become narrow or the plastic film makes a bend. This was a real common problem on the Stratus in the '90s.
