Post subject:  Turn Signal Electrical Gremlin

Hello Everyone-
Been a while since I have been around here, but I have been having some unusual electrical issues as of late.

2006 Liberty Renegade (w/out light bar) 40,000 miles.

When I turn on my parking lights or headlights, my drivers side turn signals come on solid(front and rear) but do not flash. I know it is activating the turn signal some how because the rear is yellow and the front is twice as bright on the drivers side as the pass. side.
The turn signals work fine both passenger and drivers side if the headlights / parking lights are off. If the head/park lights are turned on, the drivers side will flash normal (but blow fuse #7 for left [driver] side lights), and the pass side will act normal.
It has been like this for a day or two, then just today, the whole left side went out... I checked the fuse (#7) 10A - it was blown. I replaced and we are back to the 'sticky' drivers side signal.

To clarify, if the head/park lights are on and i turn the driver side turn signal on, it will blow fuse #7 and my running lights on the driver side will stop working.


Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch, Sean

Was it after-market trailer wiring setup, or OEM?
