Got a wierd one. My turn signals all work fine with the headlights off. With them on, the rights work, but the lefts (front and rear) do not. What could this be? For what its worth, but I dont think its got any effect, I deleted the hockey puck side markers.

The front left turn signal housing is wired wrong. you system is pulling its ground through the head light circuit. Possibly the front left signal ground is broken

You gotta be a Double E, Mike. Sell that one to George and his next book can be 701 Tech Tips (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Remove the turn signal lense and make sure just the bright filament is on when the turn signal is on. This will confirm the issue. Also with the parking light on, just the dim filament should be lit.
