rear blinker doesn't work

My rear passenger side blinker doesn't work. Brake light on same side doesn't work, but the regular light does. I changed the bulb already thinking it was that filament, but no. The dash flashes normally and the front on the same side works. Bad socket? thanks

could be a bad socket, or a bad pigtail in the socket, or even a pinched/cut wire from the cab to the light.

would a cut/ damaged wire allow half the bulb to work?

Check the bulb...(I'm being serious now)...

If its a 3156 bulb, they have a single filament...3157's have a dual filament.....

Just a SERIOUS thought....
