Started having problem with tail light and turn signal not working sometimes. Bulb indicator light is on when you brake or have head lamps on. Now the tail lights and signal fail all the time. Rapid blinking on dashboard when
right turn signal is turned on but no lights on in the rear of the car (right side only). Checked bulbs and fuses, they look to be okay....could it be a relay switch?
Any suggestions? Thanks.
