Any ideas on what this may be?

It means that something is wrong. A bulb is burnt out somewhere usually when this occurs. Don't know if you have actually gotten out of the car and walked around it with the signal on. And I am not trying to insult your intelligence, but that is the normal reason...Good luck

yeah, i have the same problem, but it's on the passenger side. all the filaments in the bulbs are fine. on my car, i think there's something wrong with the black wire connected to the middle bulf of the passenger side taillight, because when i play around with it, the lights blink like normal. then after a while, it occurs again. i haven't figured it out yet, but it definitely is a electrical problem.

Also have someone step on the brake to double check that both bulbs come on when the brakes are hit. Also check your front turn signals etc. Its either the bulbs, or the wires themselves...

mine did the same thing...one of the wires in the bulb was loose. there are two things that light up inside each bulb. one is probably burnt out or loose. get a new bulb and test it out. bulbs are only like $.50 at walmart
