I'd look at the turn signal lever/switch, unless it has a separate turn signal bulb from the brake light.

When you turn on the signal, do you hear the flasher clicking? If not chance are that its bad.

First your right rear turn signal quit working, I assume the right front turn signal is working. Then you lost the left rear break and tail light? I would suspect wiring harness issues. Maybe some moisture got into a plug and has caused some corrosion.

Mike, if the 4way flasher works, you should be able to trace it down by sound. That clicking you hear when the flasher is on is the relay you're looking for.
