It sounds like you have a classic ground issue with the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56348. When testing the 4-Way with a tester like Curt LED 4-Way Flat Connector (Vehicle End) Tester part # I26 the right turn like should only light up when you activate the right turn function. If it is always illuminated like you mentioned, I recommend to make sure the ground wire of the harness is attached to a clean bare metal surface on the frame. If you don't have a proper ground one or more of the functions may have power without being activated. Please let me know if this doesn't work for you and we can troubleshoot further. I have also attached a helpful troubleshooting article for your reference.
