litterally just started happening...or I finally noticed while I was replacing my radiator and messing with stuff.
my brake lights light up my cluster lights, my right turn signal doesn't work at all with the headlights on, my left is sporadic at times,the hazards work completely fine for some reason and if I use my right signal without my headlights on it flashes every signal for some reason.
some of these are new but the cluster lighting up with the brakes has been a thing since I got it

ok so my hazards stay on with the parking lights apparently since I needed to use them I figured that out. also my right turn signal activates all the parking lights
my left front bulb doesn't work no matter what unless the parking lights are on and then it sometimes works, I have already put a known good flasher in and the turn signal switch seems to work perfectly fine but maybe I'm wrong.
definitely getting annoyed with this wiring

Maybe a bad ground somewhere.
Also check that the plugs in the bad of the cluster are seated properly.

The front parking light sockets are known to get water in them and rot off the ground tab.
I would check them first.

I don't think that could cause a good majority of my issues from a dash light not seating properly since the parking lights being on or off has such a drastic effect

my cluster turn indicator lights stopped working awhile ago and came back last drive. same problem with my right signal and lighting up my entire parking light circuit so I'm gonna take that tail light off Saturday since I'm getting new ones to replace that one that is litterally cracked in half all the way through including the back plate
