[Guest Anonymous]

does the tail light flash with the blinkers when you it on?

stay on for any length of time--it'll melt the lens from the bulb's heat.

Sounds like you have a crossed wire somewhere that's allowing tail light voltage to feed to the turn signal bulb. Check the connections at the offending tail light--bet you'll find two wires or terminals touching that shouldn't be.

+1 grounded or crossed wire somewhere.

Occam says that the bulb base has lost ground.

You don't say how bright it is with the taillights, and for this to be true,

it should be kinda dim.

If it's full bright, you have a much bigger problem- I'd start with Mike S'

post above.
