Turn signal query.

Turn signal query.
After 6 months with no dash lights, finally tore into that today and got it fixed. Found out last owner spliced the aftermarket radio into the blue-red wire that is supposed to illuminate the factory radio light. Re-routed the offending wire and changed 3 bulbs in the dash cluster - everything lights up now. New problem: My turn signals work fine with the lights off. With the lights on, the LH turn signal blinks really slow, but everything functions as it should other than that. With the lights on, the RH turn signal flashes very fast, but it knocks out my LH tail light completely. I checked fuse - good. I checked front marker light bulbs, tail light bulbs, and all 4 side marker light bulbs - changed 2 that were suspicious, but still working. All grounds were also cleaned and re-tightened at these connections. Since the emergency flashers were working fine with the lights on or off, I switched the metal flashers underneath the dash - no change. I also changed the headlight switch with another known good one that I had since it was handy, but it didn't do anything for it either. I ran the wiring underneath the truck as well, all looked good. I have another turn signal switch "just in case", any thoughts on this problem before I try it as well? Thanks for any advice, as far as I know this problem didn't exist before I fixed the dash lights today, but haven't checked everything for a few months.
