Default Plans for tomorrow

As long as things go according to plan, after class i plan on giving my Cherokee a bath, changing the oil and figuring out my turn signal issue.

Bulbs are not burnt out, but my left signal stays on on the dash all the time and when go to turn, it flashes extremely fast as if a bulb were out and only the back and side flash. The front left turn signal will not turn on and I would like to replace this before I get pulled over for it. After doing some research, I am leaning towards the issue being the flasher relay that is under the dash.

Any input?

Thanks guys!!

Have you checked to see if the front left turn signal bulb is out?

Yes I have, still on, but that was my first thought.. Do you know if a turn signal would stay on on the dash if the bulb were out?
