Default '64 Impala SS turn signals

My 1964 Chevy Impala SS has all new wiring front to rear. When left turn signal is activated both indicators flash as if they are an emergency flasher, vehicle does not have that capability. Right turn signal, when activated, works properly.
When brake pedal is depressed both the dash and center console lights come on. Can not figure out what is going on. Not too long ago everything was working properly. Can not remember doing anything to cause this gremlin to pop up. Have talked to American Autowire and they had me change the steering column wiring, did that with no results, same problem. Have checked ground wire going to console and re-did to make sure good contact.
Have LED lights throughout the car. Am wondering if the new flasher, has gone bad. Is specifically for LED, with a ground wire. Could this be the problem? Please help - causing me to lose what little hair I have left.

a poor ground will cause all sorts of electrical gremlins.

Check the left side sockets that hold the bulbs. Make sure they are making a good solid connection and the bulbs are seated correctly..

and you have to make sure you have the correct bulbs in also, like not having a dual functioning bulb in a single functioning socket
