Q: Blinker light malfunction - 1998 Chevrolet Suburban 2500

asked by on September 02, 2016

The right blinker in my vehicle cannot turn off, along with the maker light. The dashboard is also showing the right turn indicator light illuminated. While using the turn signal for making the turn to the right, the light is illuminated and there is a buzzing sound. There are no problems when I turn to the left. Also, the bulbs are working fine. How can I fix this?
