Turn signal/Brake light problem

[artiec1]

Help. When I step on the brakes brake lights are fine. Turn signals work but when left side signal is on there is a "slight illumination" on the right side as well.

When you step on the brakes the turn signals STOP. The light don't seem as bright as they should also.
Replaced turn signal switch with a NOS Mopar unit brand new in box.

I'm lost with this. I'm thinking a bad ground but not sure. Any one have some ideas?

Thanks

Close, but I don't think this is his problem. Check your sockets for good ground. Also check to make sure the contacts are good in your sockets and that you have the correct bulbs installed.

My friends Demon had a similer issue.
He was told by someone to check the bulbs and see if any had the chrome/stainless bases.
He found one chrome bulb and replaced it with a brass one and the problem was gone.
I don't understand that one but he swears its true. Might be worth a look.

Tell him to put dialectric grease on the bases to prevent corrosion.

If all else checks out, swap in a new flasher relay

Electricity always follows the path of least resistance. The "slight illumination" of the opposite lamp points to a ground problem on the left side.
