My truck listed above XLT model, standard cab, the right rear turn signal went out. i replaced the bulb and all fuses and it started to work properly, then i went for a drive and it stopped working again and blinking fast. I've checked the connectors and wiring and everything seems fine i don't know what else it could be.

Some replacement bulbs are pretty cheap and fail quickly, but we should look at the bulb socket. There is not too much it can be besides that. Please go over this guide and I have included the turn signal wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works.
