1982 f150 tail light problems

My tail lights and tag lite only work when i turn the turn signal on and none of the turn signals work. Brake lights only work this way as well, help.

Go to the rear and unplug the plug near the rear bumper. Clean the wires off and look for a brown wire. Get a testlight also. Turn the headlights on and then probe the brown wire with the testlight to see if you have power. If you do, then you have a wiring problem at the rear. If you don't, do your front markers work?
