L blinker wont stop blinking, please help

[jrpmp69]

Yesterday, i turned on my left turn signal to turn and now it wont stop blinking. I tried changing all of the bulbs and checked the fuses and they are all fine. This is really starting to get annoying and i need to fix it right away, any suggestions as to what might be causing this would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Will do, I am going to remove the fuse on mine also until i find a fix, i hope i dont get pulled over for not tuning on my turn signal.

just turn right for now

perhaps a bad relay? i don't know off-hand, but if you can swap left and right blinker relays, that would be an easy way to see...

Your low on blinker fluid!

Where do i find the relays?

under the hood.. there's a box to the left of the engine bay if you're facing the engine.

the relays are mapped on the top of the box cover

I did not find a sigle relay in that box for turn signals. Any other suggestions?

I have swap relays and its the same problem so im guessing my relays are fine but im thinking it could have something to do maybe in the steering colum maybe the switch itself could be the problem. But i still dunno im having the same problem with my wipers mofos keep going even in the off position.

This happened to me on my 95GS. First I pulled the fuse becase it was driving me crazy. Then I figured out the problem. It was the joint in the steering column where the turn signal lever goes into the column. It's the pivot point at the end of the lever. That joint broke and it was stuck blinking left. I ordered a new one from the dealership for like $50 and the problem was fixed. I hope this helps.

Actually I paid my body shop to do it because I was too busy at the time. They got the part and only charged me $65 part and labor. They said it was very simple.

i actually had a little time n figured it out. I dont know how to term it exactly but if anyone else has this problem they can try what i did. Take out the entire i guess you can call it the assemply for the binker. After its all dissconnected just on screw the to screws on the dark side of it. Once this is apart make sure thats it still clicks n just make sure its all good on that side. If that side is fine then flip it over so that the white side, where the the plugs go, is faceing up. Make sure its facing up so that the sides dont fly all over the place then move the handle to the right and left. One of the little plastic piece should move back and forth if not then there goes your problem so you can either rig it up or buy or find the peice that needs to be changed. Sorry for the wording but im tired and i have no clue what some of these peices are. good luck for any one that needs it.

replace the turn signal assembly, but make sure you buy your cars year or if it has cruise controll. when I compared my brothers 96 to my 98 the werent the same but maybe it is because my has cruise controll and his doesnt.

dam this thread is old

If you are cheap like me. Take the assemble apart most likely the dowel on the handle that slides in the L center and R position of the blinker is broken. Drill a hole in the location on the handle and epoxy in a nail or similar that can move the slide and problem solved. At least in my case this was the issue. Saves 40$ and shipping time.
