Sounds like you have a light bulb in backwards. or the filament in a bulb is shorted together, check all turn signal blubs.

    You might have to replace the blinker switch in the drivers foot- well area, if you do not hear a proper clicking. If the opposite side works you might notice the sound I am talking about. Good luck.

Plain and simple...Your turn signal circuit is shorted to your headlamp circuit. What USUALLY causes this is an incorrect light bulb has been installed in the vehicle or the light bulb was installed incorrectly. There are other possible causes of these circuits being shorted together, but 99 out of 100 of the times that I have seen this it is either because somebody just replaced a bulb or a bulb socket melted somwhere on the car. Be sure to check both the front AND rear bulbs.

Possible that your blinker module is going bad. It is located in your fuse box under the dash, and it looks like a little silver barrel, about the size of a half-dollar. Just pulls straight out. You can get a new one at any auto parts store for under $10.

It sure sounds like you have a case of "sneak circuits"
These are usually caused by a bad ground somewhere and something is "grounding" through the light bulbs.
Have you changed any wiring or installed a stereo or some other accessory?
You might use a jumper wire and ground the dash and other areas to the negative battery post as a way to find the culprit.

Blinkers will not work when headlights are on.

you have a left side turn signal out in the front or back replace bulb the reason why your bilnkers wont blink is because your flasher relay is bad the relay will be located n the fuse panel under the drivers dash any auto parts store should have the light and the relay in stock replace both of those and youll be in buisness

Left blinker light stays on solid when headlights are on

I have had this happen and it is rare, but I have had a filiment burn out in a two filment buld and short to the other filiment. It does happen and I think this might be your problem, the only way to find it is a visual inspection of each bulb. I am sure many people will think this is crazy, but I have had the exact same problem, I had the schematics, tested the circuits,etc. and them by accident found a stop/blinker 1157 bulb that had done this exact thing. I hope this helps you, check the bulbs in your headlights also.
