First, pull the bulbs and check the sockets. Make sure they are clean and free of corrosion. Next, check your grounds, make sure they are clean and corrosion free. Finally, replace the turn signal module.

Sounds like the rear bulb is burned out. Remove it and look to see if the filament is broken. If you can't tell, swap with the left bulb and see if the problem follows the bulb.
