Signal light and hazard light problems

So when I turn my signal light on it turns n all my lights as if it was hazard lights Im not entirely sure what I should be checking for. And when my lights are on at night my rear signal lights stay on as well. Any help would be great I'm horrible at electrical shit too

LED bulbs do NOT put out the same power as the standard bulb. The cars way of letting you know a bulb is out or has a lack of power is by flashing sporadically.

Since you have LED bulbs all over, that's probably what's causing everything to not work properly.

If you start using standard bulbs and it's still messed up. Check the wiring every where.
