Question Right Side Turn Signal stays ON while Ignition is OFF

Right Side Turn Signal stays ON while Ignition is OFF. I found this indicates as a warning for a bad light bulb. (Don't know if I am correct). After checking all the lights and found only 1 LED on the 3rd breaklight is out. Will this 1 LED trigger the warning? If so, how do I proceed changing the LED?

The right (or left) signal will stay on if you leave the turn signal lever in that direction and turn the ignition off.

Look closely at your turn signal stalk. If it is cocked to indicate a right turn, the bulb will stay on (but not blink) even when the ignition is on.

European Rennlisters please confirm this, but I understand this is a feature available in many European-spec cars to be utilized when you creatively park on crowded city streets or poorly lit roads and your car might be sticking out a bit onto the road thus increasing its visibility. I've actually used it a couple of times.

thanks for the reply, John.
at first, i figured the same, but the turn signal light stays on even i restart the engine and drove for miles. it happened last year and later find a corner side bulb had gone bad, after replacing it the light becomes normal. So i thought it indicates as a warning.

I plug-out the right turn fuses now...... so it won't drain out the battery. HELP!
