My right turn signal light is somehow stuck on. It flashes at a normal rate, not fast, but can't undo itself. If I turn the switch right or left, I can hear it click and go back to center once the turn is complete, but it continues to flash. I've taken what I think are all the logical steps to fix the problem to no avail.

First I checked all fuses and all are working and in order. Then I bought and installed a new turn signal switch thinking mine was somehow bad, still nothing. Then I changed the relay/flasher and again....nothing.

All other lights and accessories (hazard, interior, headlights, brake lights, ac, fog lights) are working normally, but I had to remove the hazard fuse so I'm not driving around with my right signal flashing at all times. So basically I have no turn signal.

Any tips you can offer would be greatly appreciated!! I am short on cash and the car is not under warranty. I'm a "do it yourselfer" willing to try anything! Thanks!!!

Inspect and test the turn signal switch could be shorting out internally-

I bought a NEW turn signal switch, replaced the old one and the light is still stuck.

Check the wire for the right turn signal circuit could be shorted to ground after the switch causing it to come on constantly. Have you tried swapping out the flasher

You need to test the right turn signal circuit for a short to ground. If there's short before the switch it will pop a fuse-The wire that's coming from the flasher and the wire that goes to the lights at the switch if their touching it wiil cause the light to constantly lit up
