Left turning signal comes on solid

[jefffunn]

If someone could help me with my problem that would be awsome. I have a 1996 Toyota Corolla. I noticed today that when I apply the brakes my left turning signal lights come on solid. My right turning signal lights are not affected. If I have my left turning signal on before I apply my brakes then apply the brakes, the turning signal lights go on solid untill I release the brake then they return to thier normal flashing.

Any ideas??

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Pull the bulb out and check the socket. Some of those older models used the same bulb for signals and brakes, and sometimes the contact in the sockets will melt and you'll get voltage across all the terminals. Also check the bottom of the bulbs and see that the contacts haven't melted into one big blotch. If the bulbs and sockets look alright, another common problem is the area where the rear lighting harness curves under the lid of the trunk that moves and flexes every time the trunk is opened and closed. Sometimes you'll get broken or exposed wires in that vicinity, so give it a look over.
