Default Turn Signal

So the other day I noticed that my left turn signal would stay illuminated (not blinking) on the panel inside every once in awhile. It only happens when I have it in the left turn position. I checked all my lights while in the hazard position and the left turn position and they all work. I haven't been able to check it while it stopped blinking, but stayed fully illuminated. Anyone have any idea what is going on? Hopefully this post didn't confuse anyone. I had a hard time trying to explain this.

You might check/replace the flasher(s). They can become intermittant as they fail.

Well it happened again today, but this time I got out and looked at my lights. The blinker lights in front and rear stayed illuminated (no blinking). How do I check the flashers? It only happens when I have it in the left position.

Now both turn signals are doing it. How do I check the flashers?

No need to check the flasher, just go get one. (or two, if applicable) Then you'll know what they look like and you'll find them under the dash.
