I change the signal light switch and when I turn it off the engine it stays on. I have to remove a fuse to turn it off and the running light stay on. Can some one please help?

The only way it can stay going is if the turn signal/hazard switch is not cutting the circuit, but to be sure lets use this guide and the blinker wiring diagrams below to see whats doing on.
