Default Turn signals

Hello all, I hope you’re all having a great day. I need assistance with a turn signal issue. I’ve changed my bulbs before with no issue. This time I’ve changed them and the front and mirror lights are blinking rapidly. The rear driver light isn’t blinking at all, but the tail lights work. Does anyone what my next step is?

Don't you think you'd get more & better help if we knew what vehicle your'e talking about? Put ALL its details into your signature so we can review them with each reply, as this caption explains:

Default Turn signals

I'll admit my mistake, this is my first time using any forum for information - I usually can troubleshoot issues on my own. I didn't realize such a large number of mouth breathers inhabited forums seeking simply to one up the next person due to lacking in their world. I guess I shouldn't have set the bar so high.
Now forgive me to those that wish to be helpful, I do own a 2011 Ford F-150 Lariat which I'm having an issue with my rear turn signal. I've changed my bulbs twice to make sure it wasn't an issue with a possible bad bulb from the store
When I have just the running lights on the bulbs with just fine. When I used my driver signal the rear bulb doesn't work. When I depress my alarm to lock my doors, all the lights flash except the rear driver side. I know it isn't the fuse because the other lights work. Can anyone with knowledge of this assist me through this? Any efforts are appreciated in advance.

Not much of an admission when it's followed by a lame attempt at an insult. Good luck getting any real help now.

There are two flashers both face each other, you'll have to get under there to see the back flasher. I recently noticed it was two upon changing all fuses on my 89...

I felt the slots were empty.

Could be as simple as corrosion on the contacts at the connector/socket. Are these LEDs?
I'd start by looking at that. After figuring out if that's the cause, dielectric grease becomes a friend in a tube.

User error?

Since the alarm doesn't use the same bulb/filament as the blinker stop there.
Now go back and make sure all of your LEDs are properly oriented for polarity.

The stop being an *** when all they asked for was more info to help you.
