Default Turner signals?

I have a 96 Dakota and my right turn signal sticks. When I turn on the right blinker, inside flasher and the turn signals outside stick. Left one works fine. I have already replaced the flasher in the fuse panel. Does anyone know whats going on?

By sticks do you mean the light stays on? NO BLINKING! Or Do you mean the turn signal switch doesn't return to the off position after you turn?

+1!! I have no idea what you mean by sticks. Since all we have to go on to understand your problem is what you type, you should be as specific as possible.

If you mean the turn signal clicks on without blinking, you probably have a burned out bulb.

iPhone has an app for that. You download the program and when you need to turn right. You press the app and a big *** arm comes out the window and points straight up in the air. Problem solved.

Check your bulbs front and rear. You probably have a two-filament bulb, one for parking lights, the other for turn signals. If your turn signal lights up but doesn't flash, the xperts say you have a bad bulb...or one filament in a bulb is touching the other filament. If that's not the cause, you have the same problem I have with my Dak...crappy Mopar wiring. I'm in the process of bypassing my turn signals with a new add-on circuit...hope you are luckier.

I would start with what he said above ^^

If the bulbs look fine. I would then start looking for a grounding positive wire. I've picked up many trailers and have had a turn signal stick because one of the positive wires were touching the trailer chassis.
