Default rear turn signals not working right

Hi,
Craziest thing. My rear turn signals are not working right. The dash light goes really fast as if a light is blown. I changed left and right bulbs and it still does it. It was intermittent at first but now does it all the time. The left was working but is now starting to act crazy as well. My trailer wiring harness is a factory one so I don't think it is that. I pulled the bulb out of the left side and sprayed contact cleaner on the socket as well as where the wires plug in underneath the bed. Nothing, no change at all. The front bulbs are working just fine than blinking really fast. The passenger mirror signal has not worked in a long time. I don't think the problem is related. I can not test the wiring under the truck because I am currently one handed. My dominate hand is in a brace until further notice. I am going to have to pay some one to fix this as well as the water pump that is about to take a dump. Any thoughts?

Waiting for it to upload . . .

Never mind. Sockets are burned out. I got a friend to come over and check it with a meter. Cleaned the terminal off and it started working but the socket looks like crap. New ones are on order.
