Today, for no reason, my passenger side front and rear turn signals turned on. They stayed on when I turned off the lights, and even when I turned off the car. They weren't flashing, they were just stuck in the bright mode, like when they flash brighter, they were constantly bright. The driver side signals worked fine, but the only thing that would get the passenger signals to respond was the hazard button. It seems like it is somehow linked to the hazard button, playing with it for a while eventually gets them to turn off. I took out the hazard button, and reconnected the connector, in case it was loose, and I also have a spare hazard button that I'll install if it happens again, but if none of that helps, what else could be causing this?Thanks for any help.

the hazard light and turn signal are connected as far as electrical wiring is concerned but I would take apart the turn signal switch to see if anything looks weird. the fsm calls the turn signal switch the "DIR LT SW" ie directional light switch
