Question 2010 Suburban LT

New here and need some expertise.
Back story probably unrelated but the battery was replaced on Sunday. Monday left turn signal started flashing fast and taillights on left side are slightly dim. Replaced the lower bulb and worked for a day but still slightly dimmer than right side. Then same situation so I replaced the upper bulb. and all lights went dead on left side. Turn signal now flashes the back up (white) center bulb but no tail lights on left. Any idea where to start or has anyone encountered anything like this?

Welcome to the forum.

This sounds more like a wiring or bad ground issue rather than bulbs.

Default Tail light

Figured it out it was / is the pigtail clip for the left rear tail light bulb chain. Got it apart & cleaned it with DX-5 but it is still intermittent going to get a new one tomorrow.
Thanks & FYI
