Blinker lights goin crazy

so all of a sudden I put my blinker on and it was flashing fast. My first response was to check if a bulb is out, not the case. Five minutes down the road my brake lights stopped working and the 3rd brake light stays on.. when I put a blinker on the rear lights and 3rd brake light and the lisence plate plate lights all flash at once. Any suggestions?

Sounds like a loose of ground somewhere possibly. I know in trailers that do that have a ground issue somewhere. Melted wire, etc.

Another thing to check is the turn signal switch itself. Not sure if it is a simalar design like they were "back in the day" but they also have the brake lights and tail lights switched through it. If the switch itself is messd up all kinds of wierd things can happen.

I would begin with the MFW as well. Also, the 3rd Brake Lamp is on a separate circuit and should not be affected.
