I cant figure it out, but my left turn signal is always on when my lights are on. Anyone have any ideas about what i could do to solve this, or does my car just have some nasty electrical gremlins?

LOL!!

Get a grey wig and drive around in South Florida. You will be right at home.

Seriously, the ground to the left turnsignal in the stalk is grounding through the parking light/headlight switch.

They use separate grounds and I feel confident that either the flasher relay or the stalks turn signal ground is faulty. Emergency flashers are on a separate wire so it would not be them.

Replace the flasher. That is the first thing I would do. Also clean the contacts of the left bulb in the bumper and socket. Grounds are being shared somewhere.

I had the same problem. if you have recently replaced the bulbs in your flashers, it may be that. dont ask me why but when i put oem bulbs back in, they worked fine.
