Hello James,
i would check the connections to the light switch. sounds like
the turn signals are wired through it somehow instead of being
on their own..... when the headlights are on, the turn signals
don't get enough current to operate the flasher, (i'll bet the
signals themselves DO come on, just very dimly), as the flasher
operates with a bimetalic strip, that is, its like a thermostat
in a house, the current flow causes heat which straightens the
spring.. breaking contact, causing cooling, tightening the coil
making contact, etc...when the running lights are on, more
current flows, enough to make and break the contacts, but very
slowly, and with it all off, enough current flows to operate
the flasher unit.... ..if its not at the lighting switch, it IS
somewhere .. follow the signal wire back until you find out
where its in with the lights!
