1968 Cutlass blinker issues

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hey everyone,

Got a 68 Cutlass S I got a few months back and
the other day the blinkers stopped working.
Replaced the flasher and nothing. When I've got the
headlights on the high beam light and hazard lights
all light up (see pic). Any clue what I need to do to
fix this? Thanks in advance!

old, worn bulb sockets can send current to other things , the bulb needs a good ground as well as juice , if it doesn't the juice can find another way to ground , remove the directional bulbs and see what happens , a multi tester would help ,
