Weird Blinker problem

For some reason my right blinker blinks fast when I press the brake. I check the bulb earlier and for some reason the bulb reserved for braking faintly blinks along with the blinker bulb, when I have the blinker on. Anyone ever heard of a problem like this?

you have a bad ground and the current is seeking a ground through the brake light blub .

I would clean the socket out the best you can with contact cleaner perhaps a fitting brush as well. Wouldn`t hurt to do the blub also or replace
