Any chance you have the wrong bulbs in the sockets?

I've heard of folks putting the wrong bulb with a single terminal.  I think it will contact both receptacle pins and flash with either circuit.

Are the ground wires hooked up to the park-turn signal lamp housings?

The park-turn signal lamp housings are the grounds for the bulbs to work, if I understood correctly what you asked.

I asked if the  wires are hooked up to the tab on each of the housings.I forgot  to hook mine up and the turn signal lights and some dash lights were not working right.
