Default Bad Ground?

I believe thats what it is. When I use my left blinker with the lights off it works fin BUT it blinks the whole dash along with it. Then when I have the running lights or the headlights on it just goes solid. And the right side works fine either way. Also when I hit the brakes with the lights off the dash lights up. Any ideas?

Thanks

I would also look at the bulbs...... especially the left rear brake/turnsignal bulb. Sometimes, when the filament breaks, it will lay across the other filament, and cause some really interesting behavior.

I will check it in the morning. Seems wierd though because the blinkers still work and all. Also when I use the break my running lights go solid if the lights arent on? Im confused but I could try replacing the bulb and see what happends.
