Default signal wont work with headlights on?

ok my left turn signal wont work when my headlights are on. i replaced my cluster bulbs yesterday and it was wokring fine then, but now its just staying illuminated and not blinking. when i turn the headlights off the blinker will work but it makes the entire dash light on and off every time if "blinks". if it happened right after i replaced the bulbs then i would blame them, but the fact that it was fine for a day then this happened i dont know what to think. when i was at a red light on the car in front of me i could see that the bulb for the left blinker was on, but not flashing and it was definately brighter than the right side. any help would be great. thanks.

EDIT. ok i didnt feel like not being able to use my headlights and turn left so i took my truck down the Yankee custom and they told me thats it probably a ground somewhere in the wiring so they're gonna do fix that for me over. sucks to not have my truck but hey, what are you gonna do?

I had a similar problem. My blinkers were intermintent and worked much less often in cold. Replace the emergency/turn signal relay and I have been good to to ever since.

Mine was a blue box located just under dash in the driver side footwell.
You really have to pull hard to get it out.
