Out of nowhere, my turn signal noise is continuing when the turn signals are not in use. If I signal to turn left or right, all of the lights work, and the ticking noise is normal. My hazards also work perfectly. However, when I am not using them, the turn signal noise plays anyway, twice as fast as it normally is. The noise will randomly start or stop, it is not constantly on. I have no idea if it's a fuse, or what I need to do. Help is appreciated. :)

I would check the hazzard switch/flasher that is your most likely cause.

The turn signal flasher is built into the hazzard switch.Did you want a wire diagram for the turn signal circuit?The fuse is good if your turn signal's work.Is that noise your hearing coming from the hazzard switch when the turn signal's aren't on.Also do any of the turn signal indicator's or outside light's flash with the noise.

nope, there is no flashing with the noise; it works perfectly when i turn it on, but when it's off it's just the noise.
