No turn signal passenger rear, no back up light, but do have brake light. Swap out bulbs, then even moved sockets from working drivers side, with bulbs to passenger side, still not go. No emergency flasher on passenger side either. Wondering about the combination turn signal/hazard flasher/daytime running light Module. Could this be the culprit for just one of the signals?

Check the wiring at the front right light socket. They are known to have problems and that sends the power to it.

Well, it is actually fixed. Even though I swapped light sockets from working side to non-working side, I decided to take the HOUSING and spread the contacts for a little better contact with the Socket. Turns out the Housing was the issue, not the bulb or socket. Turn signals work fine again.

Glad you got it fixed. Funny, I just fixed my sister in law's that was doing the same thing. I had to work through the inner fender at the front to repair the wiring.

Take care.
