rear turn signal

on the way to work this morning i had an alarm to check right rear turn signal. Got here and checked, sure enough. The outside light was not blinking but inboard one was. This happen to anyone? Is it a relay or is tail light bad?

Since you have a 2010 and if you haven't modded the tailights I'd say a bulb is bad.

It's a bad bulb. When the bulb goes bad, the filament doesn't create any resistance in the circuit and that's what triggers the bulb out warning.

Since LEDs generate very little resistance, they can sometimes cause this. That's what load resistors have to be installed.

A new bulb with fix the problem

For some reason, I've had to change the left rear outside taillight bulb 3 times on my 2010 camaro. Right-side bulbs have been fine.
