Default Turn signal issue...need help/advice fellas

Hey guys

So my taillights and headlights work, but when I turn the turn signals on, the little arrows near the gauge cluster just stay lit solid and the actual turn signals don't blink....

Could it be a fuse? I'm thinking now since the lights light normal....figured maybe the lever on the steering wheel column is broken? I don't wanna go to the stealership and be charged $500 to fix it....any advice? Is this a common problem, and is there anything I can troubleshoot or do first before poking around at more expensive possible issues?

Thanks in advance!

Replace the lights in the front turn signal / running lights housings. TA's are known for this issue, and mine used to do it as well. They are dual filament, and more than likely one of them is burnt.

if everything else works and your turn signals just stay solid, Your flasher relay is shot. replace that and your signals will flash.

buuuuuuuuut, make sure you change the individual bulbs first like stated above since they will not blink if the blinker bulb itself is out
