Have you checked to see if maybe you have a bulb burned out?

Re: 87 firebird with unusal turning signal problem
as far as the turn signal problem it sounds like there is a short in your harness. maybe someone had done something to it before you got the car. i would check the bulbs first but it sounds like it is more than just a bulb. also maybe the cluster is shorting out just things to check.

when that happened to me, it was that seperate wire on the front turn signal plug. Mine you can pull out and look at it, i forget why, but i just remember that my problem was up there.

i do have a 700r4 they come stock on this model.
and i figured out the problem it was my car telling me my alt was going out.
cuz eventually it did go out, replaced it and the problems gone
