Usually this kind of problem is caused by a bad ground.

The indicator bulbs make contact with two pads (one 12 volts, one ground) on the instrument cluster. Some times there will be green corrosion on the copper pads. Somes times there is in invisible oxide layer. A pencil eraser will remove the oxide layer.

I only have schematics for a 2001 Tracker and even then they don't show much detail inside the instrument cluster. In general, current takes the path of least resistance. So if the turn indicator had a high resistance ground connection you might expect the current to find a ground through another bulb. The odd thing here is the 4WD indicator doesn't have ground until the PCM gives it one. This may turn out to be a difficult problem to solve. I'm keen to learn what you find find.
