Youcan check your bulbs and bulb buckets to make sure they are all clean and tight and free of corrosion. You can then start to trace the wires coming too and from each bulb to see if any of them have rubbed raw and are groudning out to a interim short. But the thought that a switch may be malfunctioning is valid. Good luck......

Sounds like a problem in the ignition switch.  As if the contacts for the
parking function are making contact when the switch is in the on position.

"I fired up my baby...went for a ride and now I have no turn signals, they
are on  all the time and a back break light is also on all the time.  I
can't figure out how to find where it is hung up, New battery,,,,the foot
brake seems fine as I traced the wires to the spring..and the front seems a
little tight..checked all the fuses they they LOOK ok...what's happened? "



Ahh - you forgot to change the subject line!   :-)

On all the time?  Are all 4 signals and the brake light are on all the
time?  That's strange...
