With 4-way flashers, some older vehicles were made to work this way. It allows the brake lights, when you're slowing and stopping, to have priority over the the 4-way, emergency flashers.

If you're talking only about the turn signal flasher, then, you have a problem. Does this happen with the turn signal lever on left, right, or both?

It sounds like the wiring is grounded somewhere.

The easiest thing to check first, are all of the lamps within the lense covers. Drop the tailgate, and you'll find some screws that will give you access. Look at the filaments, and glass, for a bad bulb.

If all your bulbs are good, I'd recommend taking it to the shop. Wiring problems are difficult to find. Did you have any recent work done on it, just before this started happening?

What fuses are responsible for turn signals and brake lights in a 1983 Suburban?

Turn signals use a relay or 'flasher' which is usually located on or near the column under the dash. Brake lights get their power thru the brake light switch on or near your brake pedal under the dash; check it with a 12v circuit tester.
