The left turn signal stays on until you switch it to the right side, it doesn't work either. I changed out the turn signal switch it lasted a couple of days and went back to doing the same thing.

The turn signals are controlled by the BCM which sounds like it is going out. Here is a guide to help you do a CAN scan to confirm the problem and I have included how to change the BCM out, you can get a preprogrammed unit by searching Google or Ebay.

You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

Here is a video to show you how:

And this can help as well:

Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos of the problem so we can see what's going on.

I have a can scanner and it does not show a code of any kind. Could I have a short somewhere possibly? Thank you in advance.

That scanner will not do a CAN scan unfortunately so it can see if the BCM is having an issue.
