Intermittent blinker fail 91 Formula Firebird

Sometimes when I actuate the left blinker the green arrow light stays lit and the outside lights do not come on. This only happens sometimes. I think it's a relay somewhere, but I don't know where they're located. Anyone?

mine did tht but it was because the bulb was dead. the blinker bulb has 2 filaments. one blinks and the other stays running.

Like I said, it's intermittent. So 50% of the time it operates correctly.

There are a few things I would check if she was mine. The easiest would be the flasher connections, and then you will have to pull the steering wheel and see what is going on with the turn signal switch.
