Default Rear marker light problem

Here's the issue: 1980 with the rear side marker lights non-operational with turn signals. All other turn indicators work: Front and side front and rear. Both rear sides have good bulbs and the wiring diagram shows they should have common ground with the other rear end lights. First of all, are they supposed to indicate turns? Second, the flasher seems to be inconsistent; some time fast, other times normal. They may even change flash right during the same turn. To me that usually means a bad bulb. Any suggestions?

I don't think they flash with the turn signals on the 80.... Not sure what the deal would be on the flash rate changing. Maybe you have an intermittent short that is causing that?

Rears do not blink -- light only.
