Question Flasher/signal problem 78

Ok let me start with what it does.
When headlights are off no turn signals light up let alone flash. and the hazards work fine.
When headlights are on front left parking light is on front right is not, rear lights are fine. when I turn turn signal to right side the right side signal turns on(no flashing) turn it to left nothing happens. Nothing happens in the back either.
Here's the weird part, when I turn hazards on with headlights on they are fine in the back, but on the front they alternate back and forth like police lights, also the front right is dim.
I have replaced all lights and turn signal flasher. I checked to see if power was coming into the flasher and none is so I should fix the feed circuit. Thats my main question unless you can tell me the exact problem...what and where is the feed circuit?
Thanks so much for any help.

Hi and welcome to the forum

Sounds like you could either have bad bulb sockets or bad chassis grounds. Bad grounds will make things do some strange things!!
