Just had an issue with left rear taillight being dimmer than right rear. In that situation the left turn signal didn't work. All bulbs fine. Turned out it was the left rear bulb socket ground wire in the socket. Once repaired the turn signal started to work.
Don't know if it is your issue but grounding is something to consider.
Good luck.

If only one side (left or right) acts this way, it is NOT the flasher module. Since the light comes ON, the turn signal mechanism in the steering column is working as it should. Your problem is either: 1) bad bulb; 2) bulb inserted incorrectly; 3) bad bulb socket; 4) bad ground in the turn-signal 'system' [it doesn't have to be right at the site of the bad bulb...just interconnected to it]; 5) inadequate voltage to that bulb so that the flasher won't flash (not enough current draw). That last item is probably associated with a poor ground or a partially broken power feed wire.
