turn signal problem

My left rear turn signal is not working even after I changed the bulb and the strip that holds all three light bulbs. When I have the hazards on I get voltage to the plug but I guess it is not enough power to operate the bulb and as you guys know these trucks don't have fuses for turn signals. Any ideas?

I believe they are controlled by the TIPM (Totally Integreated Power Module) Hopefully someone will chime in here with some more help.

I recently had a problem with my trailer lights not working and found a blown fuse on my '06. After replacing it, that still did not fix it. Later that week I installed a TST and disconnected the batteries for awhile and that seemed to reset the TIPM, My trailer lights started working again.

I have a 06 MEGA CAB and found that my left turn signal is out. The front bulb is good and working , I have replaced the rear bulb and still nothing my trailer plug has no left turn signal or brake light as well. Like maybe there is a splice some where I just dont have access to a wiring diagram if anyone does or has had this problem I would appericate some help. I know all fuses are good. I have just read about the multifunction switch and will check that in the morning for a possiable broke or pinched wire.

I had a strange problem this weekend, I was pulling a utility trailer and turned on my left blinker and on the dash the right blinker came on. I turned it off and back on and it started working right (or left ). This happened a couple of times. I don't know if it will happen without a trailer hooked up or not.
