Open the trunk, remove part of the carpet that is just behind the turn signal. You will find the socket, it's black, move it to the left or to the right about half a turn until it unlocks, you will find the bulb. The bulb has two filaments, one for the turn signal and the other for the stop light. If either one is bad, you need to replace the bulb. Many times the bulb connectors, get rusted or accumulate dust and does not make a good connection, therfore your turning signal or your stop light won't work, just clean the connectors, both from the bulb and form the socket and put it back and see if it works.

Why when I-mash brake pedal - front park lights come on - turn signal indicators on dash come on - key not in ignition - 97 Silverado?
If any rear turn-signal/brake bulbs have just been replaced right before this started then pull them back out and look into the socket. If you see two contacts in the bottom of the socket but the bulb you removed only has one contact that is your problem. The single-contact on the bulb is shorting the two contacts in the socket together, since one is brake and the other is turn the brake power is feeding back into the turn-signal circuit lighting them up when brakes are applied. Replace the single contact bulb with the correct dual contact bulb and your problem will go away. Good luck.

Open the trunk, pull back the trunk liner material and look for the back of the turn signal housing which has two sets of wires going into it. One set is for the turn signals the other is for the brake lights., Have someone step on the brake pedal to light up the brake lights, so you will know which is which. The turn signal bulb assembly should pull out of the socket in the rear of the light housing with a half turn, be gentle. Then remove the bulb and replace with the same part number and reverse the procedure to re-install it. Carry a spare bulb for each of the turn and brake lights, in the glove box.
