I am having an issue with my bumper parking lights and front side markers...I have none what so ever but as soon as I hit the turn signal lever they go on but don't blink for either side just stay on, used to go on before and taillights dont blink either...what could be the issue ground maybe?

Sounds like a turn signal flasher stopped working.
Check your 4way hazards are working, this works off of a different flasher, if all the bulbs flash, then your wiring is good and you need to replace the turn signal flasher.

Double check grounds, metal to metal contact of connectors & bulbs/sockets for corrosion, old dirty dielectic grease in bulb sockets.

Check all the brown wires to the parking & side marker light sockets. Brown is the color of the power wire for that circuit.
