Default Turn signal help

Electrical problems always kick my ass. My turn signals are screwed, when I turn them left or right the blinker blinks fast like there may be a bulb blown, but there isn't one blown. And when you look at my taillights they both blink fast like I'm hitting the hazards. So everytime I make a turn it looks like my hazards are blinking super fast. Also when my headlights are on, there is absolutely no power to any rear lights. This is on a 01 focus hatch. Any help would be appreciated.

sounds like a bulb backfeeding.

check both sides signal bulbs, one could have a broken filament and its sending voltage to the park side of the bulb.

or a bad ground on one of the lens assembly's.

Yeah, I'll check the grounds, but I replaced all the bulbs.

Sure enough, I had to tear apart my interior to find the ground, and there it was, the speakers vibrated the bolt out. Thanks again.
