Are the indicator lights connected directly to the front turn signals or are they somehow controlled by the DD dash? What's the model # of the cluster?

Usually, when the parking light ground is bad that makes the T/S indicators illuminate when the parking are turned on. Instead of power going to the parking light ground, it goes through both filaments and travels back to the indicator and then finds its ground there.

The constant "ON" of the indicators has me stumped. If the indicators are connected to the front T/S's seems to me they they should blink too. That's why I asked if they are controlled by the cluster. (Don't why they would do that...)
