Weird stuff like this is always caused by bad grounds.  When the ground
connections are broken current flows in very strange ways trying to find a
path back to the battery.

Start with the ground strap on the battery and make sure it's in good
condition, then go under the dash where there is a ground tree with multiple
connections.  It's on the left side above the fuse block (unscrew and lower
it after disconnecting the battery ground strap).  Corrosion here is
probably the culprit.  You can often fix this by pulling off the connectors
and cleaning things up.  You may need a new one though:

not all, ground wires are brown, check them all!

Ground connections in the light sockets are also often corroded.

Have fun!

Can anyone give me an idea where to start for looking for a wiring problem.
When the key is turned-on, the passenger side turn signals front and back
stay on all the time. The driver's side works fine. With the key off, the
emergency flashers work, but the brake, oil and battery light also flash.
Turn the key with the previous situation and the emergency flashers stop
working and has a steady glow. Any help would be appreciated!
