Issue: Left interior turn indicator light stays solid when activated, as do both left exterior turn indicators. Right system functions normally.

Grateful for some guidance on what might be the problem and solution.

Thanks.

Check the flasher circuit output voltage. It should alternate causing the light to flash. If you have a constant voltage then I would replace the flasher. I believe you can order a new one at your local auto parts store.

check the bulb housings on the left side. you have something shorted out, or if it started while it was raining or washed you have moister in the bulb housing.

Suggested Repair

Inspect the left-side turn-signal bulb housings for a short or moisture, especially if the problem began after rain or washing. Dry the housings and repair any corroded sockets or damaged wiring.
