alright my left turn signal stays lit all the time when my lights are on, and when i move the stick for a right turn signal the left arrow stays on and the right arrow slowly starts to glow but never gets bright. the left arrow will only stop glowing when i put the left turn signal on? i have an 88 XJ I am just confused on what it could be

 

I have had that issue before, the fix I used was replacing the Turn signal switch. But I am not sure if that would work on a jeep.

 

sounds like you have a bulb out.
Turn your parking lights on and look for a blown bulb, turn the blinkers on and look for a blown bulb that way too.
If you dont have a bad bulb, I would look for a short, then the blinker module, then the switch.
