The blinkers and hazard lights work properly. Once I use either one the sound of the blinker stays on and wont stop until I turn the car off. Can you tell me what needs to be replaced and how I can replace it?

Hello --

I would think it is a defective Hazard warning switch. On your model the Hazard Flasher and Turn Signal Flasher have been integrated with the Hazard Lamp Switch.

I have attached how to change.
