You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that part turned out to be an easy fix! I agree with Rich ... the problem with the fuse was likely due to oxidation & removing/replacing it was enough to re-establish contact.

I guess some of that could possibly be attributed to the fact that trucks are often used in harsher conditions (rough roads, off-road, and such) ... more so than most cars. So parts can potentially be exposed to more dust, dirt, water, etc.
Reading back through this thread, it sure sounds like you had a weird combination of gremlins with this case ... The old turn signal switch was most likely causing the behavior you were seeing at first with only left rear signal working. But to have the fuse problem right after replacing the switch (causing all of the turn signals to quit working) was definitely a strange coincidence
