Could be the flasher, but more likely it's the bulb...on my 93 the parking lights/turn signals are on the same bulb with two filaments...could also be a lazy filament in one of the four bulbs touching the other filament in the same bulb.

Depends on the year model of his truck Auron, on your 96 it's like you said...on earlier models it's different.

Could also be the light socket either front or back. I'm changing mine today (rear) as it is totally rusted and falling apart.
