    Did you check the rear bulb? Usually a corroded socket or bulb will cause the rapid flashing because of high resistance in the circuit.

    Well, i know im new here, but ill give it a shot. I had the same issue with my Sunfire. First off, pull the connectors off. Take your test light and see if you even have power coming back there from the signals. If you do, then just the socket is bad. Its hard to tell sometimes bc they will go bad and you wont even know it and think its the bulb. Also, if i remember right, i had a 99 Tahoe and it started doing that. I replaced the plastic bulb connectors (im not sure of the exact name) that hold all 3 bulbs (Stop Tail B/U bulbs) and everything was fine after that. Apparently those years were prone to having those things go bad. Hope this helps!! Good luck, and keep us posted as to what u may find!

    I had that problem in my Cheyenne 1500 come and go and it was a pain to track down but turned out to be a bad connection in a plug and not the socket
