Turn Signal Problems...

I have a problem with the turn signal in my 69 Chevelle and don't know exactly where to start tracking the problem. The hazards, brake lights, and turn signals all work. When I brake and have the left turn signal on it works too, but when I have the right turn signal blinking and hit the brake, only the right turn signal stays on until I let off the brake where it begins blinking again and the brake light on the right comes on again. If I have the hazards on and hit the brake all the lights, including the front turn signals just stay on also. I don't really know where to track the problem to. Any help would be appreciated, thanks

"but when I have the right turn signal blinking and hit the brake, only the right turn signal stays on until I let off the brake where it begins blinking again and the brake light on the right comes on again."

I'd check out the ground on the right rear signal/brake bulb. As a test, touch a piece of wire to the bulb base near where it meets the glass. Touch the other end of the test wire to a known good ground. If the bulb starts acting normal again, it's a bad ground to the bulb - bad ground wire, bad socket, poor connection.

Can't believe it either. Think there's a limit.
Normally if it's a ground problem the bad side wil not be as bright as the good side. Give the jumper wire trick a try and go from there.
