Both turn signals on constantly when lights are on

Obviously not the way it is supposed to work, but since it wasn't always like that and I haven't moved any wiring connections so I am wondering if this is actually in the turn signal/high and low beam switches on the steering wheel. I seem to remember seeing something about this on the forum some time ago. Any tips to pass along?

Thanks.

Joe - swap relays as in change the wiring routing or replace the actual relays?

Chirp - may be being dense here but how would the bulbs account for that.

Thanks for the responses.

Turn signal/flasher relay. Do the hazard flashers work?

Sounds to me like you've got a ground problem. I'd check the grounds on your intake, the heavy ground under the car and the ground lug for the battery in the trunk area. It could be a bulb too. I had a bulb blow on my trailer one time that threw my entire brake system out of whack. I can't explain how but somehow it grounded caused all sorts of problems.

Hazard flashers do work properly in isolation (meaning if you turn them on with nothing else on they work properly).

With the above test confirming they work OK, wouldn't that rule out a ground issue?

Thanks guys.
