Default Stuck turn signal (any more ideas?)

Still a problem... any ideas? I was hoping for more feedback, this is the top priority in the list of things wrong. Can't drive around with a turn signal stuck on.
Turn signal sympotms: if i turn the signal on left, the light pulsates faintly & i can hear the clicking goin rrrrrreal fast. The light is solid stuck on tho. This happened after i turned my Hazards on one time getting the mail. Ever since then its been stuck on & I haven't the cash to get it looked at.

Please help! (Thx in advance)

Could it be the bulb(s) ? I don't think it is tho. If I turn the parking lights on without the fuse in for the flashers, the parking lights function as they should. If its the flasher/relay, where's it located specifically, I mean I know its in the viscinity of the airbag controller... but not sure which device it is. Or am I totally off-base here? :drunk: :angry: :upset: :screwy:
This is bad in Atlanta traffic... lol.

The flasher relay might be dead.

the relay might be messed up, or some wireing is a little off or something. i have no clue how you did that just by turning on your hazards. but i bet people love driving around you.

I yanked the fuse, so it's not on right now until I can investigate it further. Although, people hatethe fact I dont have active turn signals I'm sure = /
The flasher/relay, is that in the fuse block? Cuz... i didn't hear the clicking coming from there.... :thinking:

The relay is separate from the fuse box...not sure where exactly it is.

You have 2 fuse boxes. You have one under the hood by the battery with fuses for hazards, etc. You also have another fuse panel under the steering column. There is a relay underneath the steering column. It's easily replaced for a few bucks.

is it near the airbag controller? the clicking comes from that viscinity, or is it on the actual steering column? i bought a book... but that isn't very descript about the location either = / & i'm guessing you have to acquire the relay from the dealer, since neither Pep Boys or Napa has the thing.
