Default Directional Bulb Issue

My right, front turn signal is out, which is causing the right directional to blink fast. I've replaced the bulb (which still does not light up), so a bad bulb is not the cause. Is this possibly a bad relay, switch, or a short somewhere in the wiring?

My inclination is a short, because my fender liner ripped out after I hit some tire treads on the highway a few weeks ago, and a good amount of water has splashed up into the back of the headlight area since then.

Only way to test for a bad wire would be with a multimeter. Turn your hazard lights on and see if you get any voltage when the other lights come on. That will tell you if you have a wiring problem. After that, you would need to trace the wires to find where the open circuit is coming from.

Rock Auto sells new fender liners for ~$15 each - just got a set for my '08 two months ago.
