Default 96 accord LX: car is possessed by the ghost of Turn Signals. help!

96 Honda Accord, LX, 5 spd.

I am having problems with my turn signals/brake lights. My cluster indicates a brake light problem, but when I checked... all the bulbs are working fine.

Turn signal:

In the day time...When I press brake, my turn signals come on as my "brake".

In the night time(with the lights on)... When I press my brake, my brake light, my blinker, my 3rd brake light.. all blinks alternatively.

When I try to blink right, the car blinks left.
When I try to blink left, car blinks right.

My car is possessed.

Any suggestions? I tried everything.

thanks H-T

there is a ground that they share G551,, they are located inside the trunk,,close to tail lite assembly on either side , black wire,make sure it is clean and tight ,,, i cannot upload pictures maybe someone else can do so,,
When you find them. clean them and tighten them and retry, hope that's all it is

Thanks. I'll try it first thing in the morning with G551.

Has anyone experienced this before? Could it be a relay issue?

I was thinking it might be the little box in the driver side taillight. The "brake light sensor box."

thanks MooGoCow3 and accord-pro
