Turn signal problem

This is a new one on me, the left rear turn signal on my 69 flashs 2 or 3 times then stays on bright while the front keeps flashing. The right side seems to work fine. My first thought was a ground problem at the rear signal but if that was the problem wouldn't the light go out instead of staying on? Going to tear into it this weekend and any ideas you guys may have are much appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Mike

I would replace your flasher before you do anything too drastic. I had a similar problem. Ended up replacing the turn signal switch only to determine it was the flasher. You can pick one up at NAPA super cheap and easy to pop out and pop in the new one. The flasher for the turn signals is located under the dash behind the gauge cluster. You don't have to take anything out to find it. Just get flash light and you'll find it easy enough. Good luck!
