when you install your new sockets, re-confirm all the grounds and bulbs...the symptoms of the turn signal indicator being on with running lights activated is a symptom of a bad ground...and one of the running lights is going back through the right blinker circuit for ground.

All figured out, replaced all the sockets and when investigating each one I found the culprit. While the socket looked good, almost the best of all of them. The ground pin inside the socket was rusted away mostly and was quite difficult to pull out through the rubber seal on the backside.
