Default Turn Signal?

Okay today when I was leaving work my turn signal kind of stuck on. It was blinking at first and then it just stayed lit. Both bulbs work on both sides and it also does it on both sides. What could this mean?

Check on the wiring connecting to your turn signal lights...

Check the wires that go to the light socket, they could be touching the body, or the the flashers are bad

if it's just staying lit, the flasher fuse is probably out but if it stays on after you turn its the spring inside the steering column thing, you take off the steering wheel and there should be two springs, one for the right and one for the left. both things have happened to me so i've learned how to fix them lol

It's kind of weird because today it isn't happening. I don't know what to think.

Default Turn signal flasher

If your signal lights turn on and start to flash for 1-3 seconds then stay on, but cancel like normal, odds are your turn signal flasher has gone out. My 2000 Cherokee did that, and I got the part for $19.00 at a part store. If I remember right, it looks like a little black relay mounted under the dash.
