Exclamation W124 Sticky Turn Signals

Hello folks, looking for some help. My '87 300Ds turn signals are being stuck on. I'll flick the stick to indicate a turn and instead of normal intermittent flashes the signal will just stay on. In hot weather, I have to manually push the lever up and down to create the signals actual function. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Let me know, and thanks,

Riley

You either have a faulty stalk or relay!

Your relay is in the box at the rear, of the fuse box .Under the hood you will see 2 boxes its in the one at the bake .First box holdes the fuses,and the back one the re;ays . With the top off you will see 12 relays depending on what equipment is in you car .The flasher unit is for hazards turn signal and a few othe items .This wont be cheap , unles you get one from the pick and pull yard .It is white in colour and the last one in the row on the centre and larger than the others .
