Passenger Turn Signal solid brake pressed

Hi All,
I searched but couldn't find the answer. Noticed when I press the brake my passenger blinker (turn signal) illuminates solid.

They function correctly when I turn on the blinker, they blink, even with the brake pressed.

So I removed the housing checked for some bad connections and tested. Seems to fix the issue, until I reinstall the housing and the wires get pressed back in.

I am thinking I have a bad connection or something is short circuiting but after looking in the Bentley not sure what wire I should be replacing or troubleshooting. (Newbie on electrical systems)

Thanks in advance, this is on my 87.

Thanks,just figured it out. Long story, but I swapped my bulbs for LED's but didnt like them. The swap included a new relay for the LED's.

I have since swapped back to regular bulbs and the relay but forgot to swap this LED to bulb. Switched back to regular bulb and it acts normal now.

Wonder if the small voltage would light up the LED causing the light to come on. Either way it appears to be fixed.
