Anyone ever have this issue? (Turn Signals)

So the other day I noticed that my left turn signal was blinking really fast. Easy enough, I must have a burned out bulb.

Sure enough, my rear driver side bulb is out, so I buy a package of bulbs.

I replaced the bulb, and tried the turn signal again, bulb is still out.

I did some reading to see if there is possibly a fuse for only the rear driver side bulb, but no luck.

Anyone know what this might be? I also tried multiple bulbs.

Thanks!

EDIT: My apologies Mods, I accidentally posted this in the wrong forum. I tried to delete it so I could repost, but couldn't find the option...

Are the terminals in the bulb socket possibly corroded? The circuit is pretty simple. If the front works, then the fault must lie somewhere between the junction box above your left foot and the ground junction. Can you read a wiring diagram?

Yep, I can read one. Guess I'll just have to go hunting. I just wasn't sure if ther was a fuse or something I was missing.

Cool. I wasn't going to throw this out unless you can use it.

Turns out the connections in the socket were bent in too far at first, and then the other connection to the tail light came loose while I was messing with it.
