The rear right turn signal on my 1997 Tahoe seems to have quit working, darn it: the front lamp works. I replaced the rear lamp and it still does not work. Would Chevy use a different fuse for the front than the rear?
No right turns for me and my Tahoe

No.
The plug is very susceptible to getting just enough wear that it does not make contact, even with a new bulb. I've had to "adjust" the inside of the socket contacts enough that the bulb makes contact again several times on mine.

Thank you: I'll put a volt meter on the plug's contacts and make sure there's current, and if I see current I'll pry the contacts out a little. The light stopped working during a snow storm at Flagstaff--- when I needed it the most, darn it.
Try your trailer hitch plug. The wiring is common to there.
I've had the same thing happen on my 99 Tahoe. I cleaned the contacts, adjusted the contact prongs and replaced all the bulbs. Still only worked intermittently. Finally went to the junkyard and got another used one for $20 and now good as new. Was told that sometimes the unit just goes bad.

Ther solution to the problem was humorous and annoying: I read the user's guide incorrectly, and replaced the wrong light bulb. It sucks being this stupid.
Ouch, that one has to hurt. I bet it sure was nice honing your skills.
