Q: Right turn signal is activated when pressing brake
Today it was particularly cold out (0-10 degrees) and my car started fine, but I let it warm up for a couple of minutes. When I press my brake, my right turn signal comes on and stays on, no blinking or anything. When I press the right turn signal, it works, but it comes on when I switch my left turn signal too. Any help would be great!
