The driver's side rear tail/brake/reverse lights aren't working, but all of the others work fine. The driver's side front blinker flashes faster than normal, which I'm assuming is telling me something. I replaced all 3 bulbs in the driver's side rear and I also checked/tested all the fuses - all are good. Does anybody have any ideas on what I should try next?

See if you have a good ground for the lights to work, probably not. It may be the connection that does it. Also clean the ground on the frame rail by the rear bumper.

Also I belive your truck instead of having three individual sockets for the bulbs it has a circuit board for them I had a 98 that did the same thing and I replaced the circuit board and it fixed the problem. Hope this helps
