Default Rear light problem -HELP

Ok, so this morning my left turn signal started hyper flashing. I remember back in the day this might mean I have a bulb out. I checked my turn signal and both were working (I thought)
Went to the auto store, they told me a bulb is ready to go out. Replaced all bulbs, front & rear both sides.
Checked and the bulb I changed would not get 100% bright, not flash. The upper bulb would flash. When I hit the lock button, on the key fob, the light would blink, but when I hit the button to unlock on the key fob it would not blink.
Seems like it only gets bright on certain functions? I am at a loss.
These are regular bulbs - not LED.
Anybody gave an idea?
Thanks

I had the same problem with my 11. You have to go to ford and have them reprogram the BCM.

Only fix that I know of. I replaced all the bulbs etc and nothing helped.

Body control module. When mine went bad the left rear blinker wouldn't blink. I got the fast turn signal and it would only flash when I locked it.

Very annoying.
