I have a 2001 blazer and the brake lights stay on while the car is running.The right turn signal isnt working, but I have checked the bulbs and they are all good.I can turn on the four-way flashers and they all work.What could cause this?

Start by pulling up on the brake pedal to see if the lights go off. If they do, the brake light switch is out of adjustment, loose on its mounting bracket, or a rubber bumper it pushes against has fallen off.
