You probably have more than one bulb, also some have 2 filaments and only one of the 2 may be out. Look at the tiny wire in all your bulbs on that side to see if any broke, then check associated fuses.

If it is a single bulb, it is probably the bulb. Many tail light bulbs have two separate filaments, with the turn/brake being much brighter than the marker light. The tail light and turn/brake circuits are completely separate.

2001 Ranger and the Right Rear turn signal is out though the signal light is also the brake light and the brake light works?

Turn Signal Light Doesn't Work, but the Brake Light DoesMost vehicles use a single lamp [bulb] for the tail light, brake light, and turn signal functions.That lamp usually has two filaments: one serves both the tail light and brake light functions while the second filament serves the turn signal function.You description of the issue sounds like the turn signal filament is burned out, while the other filament is not.Another, but less probable cause could be that the conductor [wire] supplying electrical power to the right turn signal filament has either been cut, or corrosion has built up within one of the wiring harness connectors somewhere in that circuit. Corrosion acts to cut off the flow of electricity.
