Sorry I missed this thread last week when I was at my cottage(no internet). If it had been a bad ground, the signal would have still sort of worked, getting some ground through the other side of the bulb(park lights). When you have a missing ground, the park light will work by itself, the signal will work by itself, but if the park is on, the signaI will shut it off instead of getting brighter. I would have suggested going right to the column first. Aside from loose connections at the connector under the column, another common cause of one(or both) rear signals not working is an emergency flasher switch stuck halfway between off and on.
