Signal indicator inside is permanently lit - but indicator does not

-the light inside stays lit, when you flip the signal lever up the clicking is faster than normal and the light sort of blinks, more like pulses quickly. The signal outside does not work at all. If the lights are off, then the signal light on the side of the car works but blinks fast while the one in the grill does not light up at all.

You just have a blown exterior bulb. Most likely, the one on the grill. My 79 mustang does the exact same thing. Change all bulbs on the circuit

SOURCE: Saturn 2002 VUE Turn Signal not working properly.

You need to check your left side turn/park lamp bulbs for correct part # & installation.If that checks out you deffinetely have a ground problem.When you have other lights blinking with you turn signals you have either a bulb incorrect or a bad/poor ground.If bulbs check out check your forward lamp harness ground.Hope this helps

This simply means that the front driver side turn signal bulb has failed. Replace it.

Check your bulbs first. Make sure they all work. If the bulbs are all good replace the turn signal flasher and your problem is fixed.

Usually if you turn on your turn signal and it stays lit solid inside, it's telling you the bulb is bad in your turn signal outside. I would check your bulbs first. Same for the backup lights.

My turn signals on my 1988 Jeep Comanche dont work.

My first guess would have been the turn signal switch, which you said you replaced.
You'll have to get a wiring diagram of the switch and start testing wires for power out of the switch. Could be a problem with the main harness going back to the rear of the truck, or a ground for those sockets.

Perhaps a dicky connection somewhere. Perhaps corrosion, even moisture in the connection plugs. Inspect all connections to your indicator lights. Also check for worn or damaged wires. Also Have a look inside the lenses of the lights to see if the the globes are corroded or have water ingress etc and causing shorts to other wiring within the lighting circuits.

You may also consider turn indicator lever to on to indicate truniong right, make sure the engine off. Have someone watch right indicator and literally grab the plugs/leads to the indicator globe and give them a shake to see if the fault goes away. If it doe stop intermitantly then it will help point you in the correct area.

MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL ARROW INSIDE STAYS LIT WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED BUT DOES NOT FLASH.THE RIGHT FLASHES.THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL CLICKS ONCE THEN NOTHING BUT IF I MANUALLY PRESS DOWN IT FLASHES.

make sure all the turn lights are working on your car. sometimes this is an indication of a burnt out bulb. you likely need to replace the flasher relay under the dash. if you have trouble locating it. turn on the turn signal that works and listen for it. once you know where the general location is put your finger on it and if it's clicking you have found the right relay.
