turn signal/brake issue

Very recently I noticed that my turn signal for turning left does not click on and off it just stays solid when its turned on. The turn signals do not turn on either. Also the brake light for the left side doesn't turn on either when the brakes are pushed. But when I turn my lights on the brake light turns on but doesn't react still with the brake pedal. I'm thinking its the multifunction stick needs to be replaced but I don't know for sure. Any ideas?

I had the same problems at one point. for the turn signals- you probably only need a new flasher until. easy to do.

as for the brake bulbs, make sure that the bulb sockets are not allowing water into the compartment or they may be corroded. mine were and i replaced them with after market sockets because the stock were like $50-$100 a piece.

Okay, my brake light never did this until the turn signal stopped working. and it does light up when i turn on my lights just not when i push the brakes. i read some where that the brakes are wired through the same switch that controls the blinkers.

Check your bulbs before you do anything else.

Coincidence perhaps that the brake and turn signal lights both stopped at the same? I need more clarity on what you mean by "I does light up when I turn on my lights just not when I push the brakes". Do the lights go out or do they just stay the same brightness? The bulbs have 2 filaments that allow them to be 2 brightnesses. You have dim for parking lights and bright for breaking. On my car, the socket was corroded so the second filament would not night up, thus making it look like a light bulb was "out".

I would classify those issues as unrelated unless there is some other electrical issue that I am unaware of.
