Hi psychobob,

Seems you have a ground circuit problem.

Does the turn signals work correctly when the brakes are applied?

Get someone to apply the brakes with turn signal turned on while you watch the rear brake lights. If the work funny, the ground connetions are bad at rear taillights.

Another fault would be the front lights ground wires.
