Checking the grounds for the tail/front directional(s) sounds like a very
good possibility.  Another place to look might be the turn-signal switch
itself, or the wiring to/from this switch located in the steering column.
On most cars, the brake lights and turn signals are all integrated through
this switch, and when it (or some of its connections) goes bad, you can
get all kinds of strange behavior.  But check the grounds first -- that
reminds me of what my parents' motorhome did 'til I found a loose ground
wire in the taillight.
