My left turn signal and brake light is working. My right side rear lights do not work at all. When the truck is switched in the on position It has power, I checked it with a light tester. I switched the socket and still nothing. The light does not flash, but it is just a constant power coming through the wires. Please help!

I changed it and that's not it. I'm getting constant power through the wire and the hazard or turn signal won't break the circuit

check the ground for the taillights it may be on rear frame make sure it's clean and makes contact. there is also a relay on left quarter panel for this so it may be bad as well check ground for that as well
