Turn signal stays on solid when car is off!
#16
Just had my very similar issue fixed (it was the left side signal lights that would stay on solid from time to time). Had to replace the main alarm control unit to do so, though. Yes it was a bit pricy...but at least I don't have to roll down the window to do hand signals every time I need to hang a louie. Worst thing about it though that in the The Big Scheme of Things this repair was only a small part of a very expensive visit to the shop (valve guide replacement).

could be switch in column too
Man than dang alarm again. Makes sense since it flashes your signals when locking/unlocking.Wouldn't have been my first suspicion though.
If I leave my turn signal engaged, either direction it will stay on with car off. I did not know it was suppose to stay on though, I thought it was related to my non cancel.
My right side will flash normal when driving but will not self cancel after you turn. No normal clicking noise when it should cancel. Left is fine & cancels. So I figured my issue is the switch in the column at the end of the lever. I think it comes as an assembly with wiper lever/switch as well, gotta pull steering wheel probably but could be worse. Cheaper starting point than that that alarm & I need it regardless. Otherwise I'll work around the alarm before I personally will replace the pricey immobilizer.

i found this happened to me when i turned my car off with the indicatior in the "on position".
I went back to the car and put it in the "off position" but i believe i had to turn the car back on to make it understand.

I am having the same issue. It is the alarm control unit under the passenger seat. The relays inside get stuck. You can confirm this by tapping on the unit with a screwdriver or other long implement and of the lights go off, it is the alarm unit.

Re the above. Same issue here. Jabbing the alarm unit a with a stick I keep in the door pocket releases the relay. I went so far as to locate and purchase a couple relays. I opened the box and was dismayed to see about 6 or 8 identical relays. I had no way of determining the offending relays at the time so I buttoned it back up. Maybe I spritzed the connectors with contact cleaner. Anyway, it's been fine ever since. I say, if it works, don't fix it.
Good luck.

I had this problem this morning, left side turn signal lights stay on after turned car off. The green arrow turn signal indicator on tachometer was on solid.
Found this thread and gave the module (black electronic box under passenger seat) a few gentle whacks with a screwdriver and success, the lights went off.
