Sounds like your switch is toast.

Nah, I'll go with missing/faulty earth on right side indicator housing, front probably.
With Power Off: Left signal lights and does not blink Right signal lights and does not blink That's normal, parking lights euro style.

Grounds to the right front checked out
I think a clue may be no HighBeam/Turn signal lights on the speedo.... about a month ago they worked fine. Today they do not. On the Flash relay "C" is getting the 12V pulse When the Hazard Lights Button is activated only the right side blink, if I turn on the lights I get a faint blinking on the rear right light nothing on the front right????? |

Correct this statement:
When the Hazard Lights Button is activated only the LEFT side blink, if I turn on the lights I get a faint blinking on the rear right light nothing on the front right????? |

Still sounds like an earth issue to me, did you take a clip lead and earth each of the housings or simply measure the earths with a multimeter? A housing can be isolated and still measure as a good earth using a continuity buzzer/multimeter because the current finds an earth path back through the wiring and another light housing. It can drive you mad. I would make sure you have a known good earth at all 4 housing, connect a clip lead as a temporary test solution at each from a good earth point. Same with the headlight earths.
