Automotive/Turn Signal Dodge Ram

Question
My left rear turn signal/tail light are out.  I've replaced the bulf and flasher relay.  The relay fixed the issue of a rapid flashing, but the lights still out.  I was told a circuit board is within the steering column that could be the problem.  Is this true and if so, is it accessible without removing a lot of things?  ANy other ideas?

Answer
I assume the fuse is ok?Even if the fuse looks ok,replace it with a good one.It is unlikely the problem is in the steering column.Do your stop lights work?The stop and tail are usually the same bulb so you will need to check for 12 volts at the bulb holder as it may be faulty.
