Back right turn signal not working, Brake lights are.

[Tenchrono]

I have an 08 Toyota 4Runner, Whenever I activate the right turn signal the dashboard turn indicator flashes about twice as fast as its supposed to and the back right turn signal doesn't work. I replaced all 4 turn signal bulbs but I'm only having problems with that one. I tested out the hazards and it doesn't turn on either. Is there something I can do or do I have to take it in to a dealer / shop?

Have you checked and rechecked the bulb? It may not be in correctly or at all.

Yup, the bulb is in all the way in the mount. And the mount/bulb is "clicked" into the light housing all the way, no light is coming in the back of it and I can't turn it any more.

Try switching bulbs with the other side just to be sure. If that doesn't work, it's probably a socket.

Ok, got it working thanks. I took both of the sockets out, it turns out the one that wasn't working had a metal clip not touching the metal on the bulb, bended back in place and it works.

That's good you didn't have to buy an all new socket, even though they're not that much. Also, welcome to the forum!

Thanks! It's my brothers car so I don't think I'll be posting much.

A good reason to own a VOM. You could verify if the filament is good or not and confirm that there's votage at the socket.
