So it's not a 'hard' short to ground (otherwise they wouldn't work at all).
This suggests to me that there is a wiring error, rather than just a short
to ground.  My approach would still be what I outlined before, isolate the
wires and test for where the mystery load/short is.

But I guess you could pull the rear turn lampholders out of their boots, and
do a visual for shorts, corrosion, etc. inside the boot.

I should have been more clear, I have already removed the bulb socket and am
running the powered wire from the front signals to the center terminal in
the light and manually grounding the outside of the bulb socket.  That is
when I see the light turn on, but blink very slowly.

Thanks,
