Corroded socket, broken wires where they go from the hatch to the main part of the car (if the light in question is on the hatch door).

Clicking fast is an intentional feature to tell you that one of the bulbs is not working.

That is the wrong socket for the turn signal bulb... the proper socket would have a single raised button right in the middle of the base to make contact with the bulb. I suppose you could use a dual filament bulb in the socket you have and it should work...
