The driver's side rear tail/brake/reverse lights aren't working, but all of the others work fine. The driver's side front blinker flashes faster than normal, which I'm assuming is telling me something. I replaced all 3 bulbs in the driver's side rear and I also checked/tested all the fuses - all are good. Does anybody have any ideas on what I should try next?

see if you have a good ground for the lights to work, probably not. it may be the connection that does it. also clean the ground on the frame rail by the rear bumper.......
