"Problems With The 2001 Mitsubishi Galant Turn Signal"

2001 Mitsubishi Galant Front View

I have a 2001 Mitsubishi Galant. Every so often the left turn signal will come on an stay on. Not blinking, its just a solid light on. It even stays on after I turn off the car and the only way I can get it to go off is to take out the turn signal fuse, wait a little while then put it back in or it will kill the battery (quickly). It’s becoming an increasingly annoying problem and I was hoping somebody may have an idea as to whats causing the problem and the easiest way to fix it.
Answer: Sounds like a short circuit. Next time it sticks on try wiggling all the wiring harnesses and see if it goes off. If it does it will narrow down where the problem is likely to be. If you’ve had any electrical stuff added like hands free, stereo etc, check that no wires are being pinched in the area where the items were added.
