I HAVE REPLACED THESE PASSENGER SIDE PARTS: REAR LIGHT LENS/CIRCUIT BOARD/BULBS AND TURNING SIGNAL-MULTIFUNCTION COLUMN SWITCH/FLASHER-RELAY SWITCH ON DASH SO FAR.

Problem: Left turning signal works perfect but passenger signal blinks faster when foot is on brake.
The passenger side "dashboard signal indicator" also stays on but only when foot is on brake.
All I have left to replace is the brakelight switch or the passenger side socket connector THAT GOES TO THE REAR LENS CIRCUITBOARD.

Can you please help me?
This is starting to cost a small fortune.

Where is the ground for this?
Do you mean the ground that is in the socket to the tail light?
