Malfunctioning Taillamps

When I signal to turn all my lights head,signals,third brake,and plate lights flash as if I turned on my hazards,when I turn on my Headlamps none of the lights in the rear work....
I've replaced the wire connectors and sockets in my tail lights, replaced my multi function headlight switch ,I've checked fuses and replaced all bulbs....
Anyone have a idea on what the issue is

You have an open ground circuit. There's nothing wrong with any of the bulbs, switches, fuses, sockets, connectors, wiring,etc.

Start by removing the kick panels on both sides of the cabin and inspecting the grounding studs for loose or corroded connections.

If that doesn't solve the problem, post back and this time, explicitly identify your truck. We're not psychic and there are variations over the years.
