my old eg did the same thing, your brake/signal wires are probably touching one another. It'll be a bitch trying to find the problem but good luck...

You have a wiring problem some where. Do you brake lights come on too? I know when I hooked up some trailer lights on my truck, I didn't wire it up right and my blinkers came on when I hit the brakes.

For future reference, a 99 coupe is an EJ not an EK....
