The driver side tail-brake light will not work. The left turn signal (rear) will not work. The front driver turn indicator flashes rapidly. The passenger turn indicators are working fine. The main lights to the car work in the rear, just no brake or turn. I have checked the bulbs, and fuses. Could the flasher play a factor in this? What else could I check to solve this problem?
Thanks, E.v

Check the light bulbs and replace
if still the same check wiring harness
check the ground wire for a short or high resistance
front flashing fast because no rear bulb
I believe the flasher is find and doing it job
