left turn signal problem
my car has been driving fine till this morning, until all of a sudden i give my left signal and the left signal light in the cluster just stays on. it does not blink nor do my turn signal lights. then after, I continued driving normally, and the left turn signal light would turn on, even though I'm not signaling.
after a while, at ocassions it starts working normally again, but other times it's still actin messed up. wtf.
I've noticed it only happens if my headlights are turned on. if the lights are off, the signal works properly. also whenever the signal does work, the mini lights on my climate control for the fan direction also blink
any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like when I do electrical work on homes. If that problem was in a house, it would be the main breaker that is wired wrong. so maybe your brake is wired wrong

Go underneath the dash and make sure the major connectors are snapped tight, especially if you were doing work in there recently. I had some alarm work done and the clown left it unsnapped and caused a ton of problems which went away 100% when i snapped it back in,

i spent 3 hours looking for the problem but i couldn't find anything
all my fuses are good
i even disconnected the battery and checked the wires for my amplifier
everything under the dash seems good
everytime i press the brake my cluster lights up as well as my tail lights and left signal.
i hear a little cringe noise coming near the brake pedal, im assuming it may be the Brake Switch. I have no idea how to replace that, which shop can i go to that can fix this at a reasonable price?

i checked my bulbs, everything seems good
i think the ground wire for my left turn signal light might be damaged.
does anyone know where the ground connections are for the rear tail light or front turn signal. i think i should check both

another good thing you can do if you have not done so would be just trace some wires and see if any are damage...at first i thought it was your bulb but if thats not the case im not so good on electrical work. GL.

thanks everyone that helped
but yahoo answers FTW!!
anyways i was on my way to a mechanic, and at first it was doing the same thing, but after a while it started running properly again
im pretty sure it was a loose connection somewhere, but drove it for a while and now its running fine *knock on wood*

thats happened to me once before looong time ago wen i first got the car my left turn signal stayed on but it was cause i just spliced the left signal wire cause stpid *** previous owner put the bumbper on with the turnsignal housing stuck under the bumper or behind the bumper almost scraping the floor...instead if taking the bumper of i cut the wire and taped it bac up put it in proper place then when what ur describing happened i took the tape off and used merrettes never happened again
so it very well could be a frayed or damaged wire
