Default Turn signals come on with parking lights HELP!!!!

Today I noticed that when I turn my parking lights on the turn signals come on with the parking lights. It is only on the right side though. They don't flash, they just light up. I really don't know what to look for anymore. I have JDM sidemarkers on it and they're wired into the front corner lights, it's been like that for about a year and this is the first time that's happened. All of the turn signals on the right come on when you turn the parking lights on, the front, the side, and the back. I checked all the wiring and it is correct, any suggestions?

corner lights should be on when parking lamps are on........the corner lights should have 2 coils running though them, one for parking, one for signals...

OK let me explain this, this is difficult. Everything is wired corretly. There are three wires coming out of the corner lights. A green, black and red. The green is the turn signal, the red is the parking light and the black is a ground. The JDM sidemarkers have 2 wires. One goes to the black (ground) and the other goes to the green (turn signal). I have has this wired up like this for a year and has never done what it is doing now. Now when you turn the parking lights on, the right side turn signals, light up like thy're parking lights. They do not flash, they just come on.

if you used the correct wire I don't see how this is possible.....there should not be power to the turn signal wire if the signals are not on.....look for exposed wires touching each other....got a voltmeter?

So what would make the turn signals come on with the parking lights? They don't flash, they just come on.
