Turn signal/brake light problems Chevy Astro

I have a lighting problem with a 1999 Chevy Astro. The right rear light does not blink when the turn signal is on (the front signal flashes too quickly) or when the flashers are on. It doesn't light for the brake either. And when the head lights are turned on, the light is brighter than the left signal, as if the brake were on. The left side works fine. I replaced the bulb (the old on had one filament burned out, though the problem started before the bulb went bad). I'm guessing a short. If so, is there a way for someone who is handy but not an expert to figure it out? Thanks for the help.

If it is a round base bulb, 1157, take it out and turn it around and see what happens. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds

Wow, thanks for the super quick reply. Turning the bulb took care of the light being too bright when the head lights are on, but did not solve the turn signal/flasher/brake problem. Any suggestions?

If you have a test light, turn the turn signal on and see if you have flashing current on one of the contacts in the socket base. If the test light flashes, either the bulb is bad again or the ground going to the socket is bad. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds
