The turn signal bulb, the brake bulb and the hazard bulb are all the same bulb. There may be an electric "decyphyer" that determines where to channel the current for different purposes and perhaps that would be in the brake system, but guessing is what I do best when it comes to electrical connections.

Test the wires leading to the socket. Push a small straight pin through each wire. Turn the right turn signal on an see if you get intermittent power. If not, go back to the switch at the steering wheel. Check the contacts in the connector to verify that they are touching when connected. Compare the contacts in the new one to the old one.

Its not getting power from the switch to the right rear, if I jump the left rear turn wire the switch/connector to the right rear turn wire in the connector the blinker works out back. That means the socket & wiring to the back of the car works. I have to check the connector again, it appears it could be worn out. I also had a guy tell me that their is a relay that controls each rear turn signal. I have to look into that as well.
