turn signal doesn't work

My right turn signal works without the running lights on, the moment you turn the head lights on the brake and turn lights quit working but the tail lights do work. Has anyone had a problem similar to this? It has me confused.

Sounds like you have a bad ground between the trailer and truck.

..also DO NOT rely on the ball to provide your ground, a very common mistake.

I also agree that it probably is a bad ground.I do not count on the ball working as a ground until you are actually moving so I always use a ground wire.
