Default Turn signals, help!!!!

I have a problem with my turn signals on a 99 durango. when i turn on the left turn signal the tail lights on the right side blink with it. also, when i turn on the lights and turn on the left turn signal, it stays on and does not blink. i have replaced all the lights and checked my connections. i am at a lost, any help would be great!! thanks

yea the aftermarket unit should work just fine, just take the bad one in with you and make sure that the part physically matches (the plugs are the most important)
