I would start with checking the grounds at the RR tail light.

Mine did something similar and it was an issue with the HEADLIGHT wiring. Over current in the system is a huge issue here.
Make sure your blinker bulbs are all working.

They work fine as long as you are not on the brake if you get on the brake pedal then the right side just goes solid.

Sounds like a short / back feed.

Like C10MixMaster said - check the grounds, and even the power source at your switch. Thats the 'connections' (no pun intended) between a turn signal and brake lamp. I would use a continuity tester on a DVOM and see what circuit(s) are connected that shouldn't be.
