Default Blinker Problems

Ever since I've had my mustang, there is something messed up with the blinkers that I havent been able to locate.

When I have no lights on, and I'm driving during the day time, the front (amber) blinkers work all the time when I turn them on, but the back only work when the brakes are not applied, when they arent applied it blinks as usual, when they are applied they turn solid.
Also, when the lights are on (parking lights) all blinkers dont work when turned on/off.
When the headlights are on, the front amber blinkers work (brakes or no brakes) but the back blinkers dont work at all whether or not the brakes are applied.

I've replaced fuses, but this doesnt seem to be the problem. Any ideas?

Thanks

Greg

These are guesses, first I would replace my flasher. Second, brake light switch located under the dash on your brake pedal may be defective. THird, your headlight switch is on the blink causing problems. Wish I could be certain, it's hard to know without seeing it.

Check your wiring in the trunk it sounds like the turn signal and brake wiring is reversed. I just replaced my pigtails and taillights and had a similar issue until I reversed the wiring.
