I hope someone chimes in as my left turn signal keeps blinking after the switch is back in the center after a turn. Also, the left turn indicator green arrow blinks twice as fast as the right one.

Real good indication of a burnt-out bulb.

Been looking at the prints the best I can figure is the Solid State Flasher Relay might be failing. Would look into changing it. Much easier to change than the turn mechanism in the colum.

It's under the dash on drivers side. Drop panel under colum turn key to on and then turn the turn signal on (Left or Right) you should be able to locate it.

Just a heads up, to get to my flasher relays, I had to pull the stero, then reach in to the left ( closes to steering wheel ) to grab the relays.. The switch in the column was easier, but the relay was cheaper.

Could also be the multi function switch going haywire. Haven't seen a post in a while, but there for a stretch of time, there seemed to be a bunch of guys replacing them.

Hopefully it is something simpler.

The good news is if it is the multifunction switch they are fairly easy to change. just remember to be careful of the air bag.
