I've read about this symptom in several archived threads, but I can't respond to those because they are archived. I wanted to document my solution with photos, so here goes:
My symptoms were:
- When only the turn signals were on, everything was fine. When turn signals and brakes on at the same time, then the turn signals stopped flashing and everything stayed dimly lit.
- With the car totally off, if I hit the brakes, the chime would go off.
The culprit was a bad G400 ground point. This ground is located right at the top of the passenger, rear wheel well.


Ya, this is what mine looked like after I wrenched on it ever so slightly:

I was able to get it apart, bolt it to another bolt in the area, and everything worked normal again. However, I now realize I have some major rust cancer going in that wheel well and trunk area. Looks like I'll have to decide how to fix the rust.
Thanks!
