Default Turn Signal Issue

I recently replaced what I thought was a burnt out bulb inside my tail light. The issue I’m having is the bulb emits light but does not flash when I signal, or light up when I hit the brakes. Every other signal including the secondary turn signal works but this one. I’ve tried 2 new bulbs including a factory bulb with no avail. It’s the passenger side tail light.

Any idea?

There is a connector that attaches the tailight harness to the rest of the wiring. Try unplugging it, spray both halves with contact cleaner and immediately plug and unplug a few times (to "wipe" the contacts). I've had a poor connection that prevented my sequentials from working properly resolved that way.

Factory lighting on my '07 GT vert....the inside bulb was tail only.

After market sequentials activated the inner most turn/brake bulbs.

Factory lighting uses two of the three bulbs as turn signals. The issue im having is one of the bulbs that are used as a signal, only emits light and does not flash. The turn signal on the guage indicates there is no resistance. I'll check the connector when I get the chance.
