Right turn signal problems
Whenever I use my right turn signal my left front signal flashes too, and if I have my headlights on the indicator on my dashboard for the right turn signal is steadily on, and when I go to signal right nothing changes. I know it's probably an issue with the wiring somewhere, just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Got home and cleaned all the connections to the lights and the grounds, and it still wasn't working, so then I sprayed some cleaner on the blinker thing (not sure the actual name) in the column itself, and that fixed it, so I'm getting that sensor thing was just dirty, thanks for all the help.

That "blinker thing" is called a Turning Signal Switch. At least you got it fixed, you know a cheap Chilton or Haynes manual from the local parts store will help learning the basic names and basic maint stuff.

my actual blinker relay was bad. it was so slow it blinked like once a minute. LOL
the element inside was worn out for sure. new blinker relay now it works like new.
my blinker lights no longer show or dimly glow at night.
