Neon - rapidly blinking turn signal - diagnosis?

Does anyone know what might be wrong with the
right turn signal in my '96 Plymouth Neon.

When I activate the right-turn signal lever, the dashboard signal flashes
more much rapidly than normal. Outside, the right front turn signal light
also flashes more rapidly -- but the rear exterior turn signal light
doesn't flash at all.

This problem has never occurred before -- and seems to have developed
"overnight." (Actually, I noticed it when I picked up my car today from
the underground garage where I keep it. It's been about a month since I
drove it.)

The left turn signals are all working normally (inside and outside).

I have to take the car in for its annual inspection. But before I do, I'd
like to have an idea about what might be wrong with the turn signal -- and
how much it might cost to fix it.

I'll be taking it to a Jeep/Chrysler/Dodge dealership in Manhattan -- and
I'm sure they'll charge me "top dollar" for anything that needs to be
fixed.

So I'd appreciate hearing any comments that might be helpful in this
situation.

Thanks.

The rear bulb is burned out. Replace it and the signal will flash normally
again.
