Internal left turn signal light stays on

Hey guys,


Was hoping someone may have had some insight into this issue I have. When I turn on my pop-up headlights, the left turn signal light stays on, not flickering, just solid. I got out of the car and checked and the left turn signal doesn't turn on outside, it's just the light internally that stays on when the headlights go up. Could this be a grounding issue? I have only had the car for a little over a month and I bought it like that. If it is a grounding issue, where do I even start?

Ive had this happen to me once before, it just means that one of the turn signal lights on the left side are burned out, so just turn on your hazzards to find out which one it is and replace it

Is this when you have the lights on or not??

If so, check to see if one of your wires is stripped or unhooked. Mine usually does this if one of the three wires going to it gets unhooked.
That is since I have them wired spearately, cuz I moved them.

howeve, the same thing should apply. Just check the wires, its mostly their fault.
