Default 08 left rear brake an indicator not working. Also the left indicator is clicking fast

Just the left rear lights are out. When I use the left turn indicator it clicks double time. Front works but twice as fast as normal. I can't imagine it's the bulbs because they all went out at once. Anyone have a similar experience or know what the problem might be?

most likely a bulb.. it happens quite often take the brake light off and replace the bulb.. unless you have a circuit issue which isn't all to common.. start cheap... few bucks for a bulb

Yes that was my first instinct. But are the brake and indicator lights the same bulb?

Yes that is why you have no brake light on the side that is blinking with the turn indicator on.

The fast blink tells you that a bulb is out somewhere.

Any time you see the hyper flash...your truck is telling you, you have a burnt bulb.
