Definite bad chassis (gound?) connection. Look for the brown wires.

Subject: bemused by wiring

I'm no genius when it comes to wiring diagrams - I think it's somehow
related to math aversion. I have an electrical gremlin that makes me
chuckle
a little that maybe someone can shed light on:

When I use the right turn signal, the reverse lights flash along with the
turn signal. This doesn't happen when I use the left turn signal.
Likewise,
when I put the van in reverse, the right turn signal lights up, solid, not
flashing. This morning I noticed that when I move the auto trans selector
from D to N, I can hear the turn signal flasher relay click. Or maybe it's
not the signal relay? That seems the most likely.

Do these lights share the same circuit? If so, what and where is the most
likely fault?
