Default Turn signal electrical issues?

My left turn signals works fine as long as the lights are off.
If i turn either the parking lights or headlights on, then they are lit all the time and don't blink.. whether the blinker is on or off..

the right turn signals work all the time but the front is really dim and it blinks fast like i have a light out..

the hazards work fine as long as the lights are off, but if i turn the lights on and try the hazards then all four blinkers stay lit up all the time and don't blink.. until i turn the hazards off then the left blinkers just stay lit..

Any info would be great..
I need to get an inspection sticker on this car...

Figured out the left side,
The metal pins inside the front connector which touch the connections on bottom of the lightbulb were touching each other.. so i fixed that..

Now when i put my right side blinker on, the front blinks really dim unless the parking/headlights are on..
There is alot of corrosion so i'm going to see if i can clean it up and replace the bulb, if not i'll just find a few new connectors at a junkyard..

I took all 3 pins out of the connector, cleaned them with a wire wheel and put in a new bulb..

Problem solved.. All my directionals work as they should..

Now i just need to find out why my rear foglight isn't working...
