Only passenger side rear blinker not working

When turning on the blinker to the right side the dash indicator blinks normal for like three times then starts blinking fast. Assumed the bulb was bad. New bulb did not fix. The front right and fender mount turn signals work normally, only rear light will not work. Have not replaced anything but bulb. I did check voltage at the socket with a multi-meter and could not get any voltage readings, none, nothing, not even a smidgen of power showing on meter. Left side works normally. Fuses seem to be good outside of the relay and maybe the BCM (whichever one controls that is beyond me and heard that they have to be programmed).
As a note on the left side (driver's side) if you were to remove the rear lens assembly there is some sort of relay inside attached to the lens assembly next to turn light socket, in which this inhibits you from removing the left turn light socket if it burns out. This relay has multiple wires going to the lights and it also runs to the right rear light across the rear of the car. I do not know what to think of that thing and hopefully not the issue. Can someone please give me some ideas or if this is a common occurrence on Saturn Vue's? Thanks
