Felix, You have described well your dilemma, have you checked all of you light bulbs for shorts? Specifically, the front turn signal bulbs with 2 contacts on the base? Every time my flasher sticks (the left turn signal stops working and the dash light stays lit) I check the right front bulb and invariably the 2 contacts are made of soft lead(?) and have mashed down flat and are touching. I replace it with a fresh bulb with good round contacts and the problem is solved. Hope that helps or that you resolve the issue without getting rid of the car!

All the best, Roach
