It's a defective signal/hazard switch, I thought I read about this before.
[align=left]



SUBJECT: Turn Signal Indicators Illuminated on Instrument Cluster

NO: 08-15-94 Rev. A

GROUP: Electrical

DATE: Aug. 26, 1994
THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 08 - 15 - 94, DATED APRIL 1, 1994, WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR FILES. ALL REVISIONS ARE HIGHLIGHTED WITH **ASTERISKS**.

MODELS: 1995 (PL) Neon

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
A. The left turn signal indicator on the instrument cluster illuminates when the brakes are applied.
B. The left turn signal indicator on the instrument cluster is illuminated continuously when the ignition is in the run position.
C. Both left and right turn signal indicators on the instrument cluster illuminate when activating either the left or right turn signal switch.
**D. The left turn signal indicator on the instrument cluster illuminates when the brakes are applied. This may occur after using the left lane change feature if the stalk lever does not return to the neutral position.
NOTE: SYMPTOM D APPLIES TO VEHICLES BUILT PRIOR TO 8/23/94 (MDH 08 - 23-XX) .

DIAGNOSIS:
If Symptom A, B or C occurred after the Hazard Warning switch was activated, no repair is necessary (see discussion below). If Symptom D occurred after using the left lane change feature, go to the repair procedure for Symptom D.**

DISCUSSION:
The Hazard Warning Button was designed as a two position switch. Left for "On" and right for "Off". If the switch is somewhere in the middle, the above conditions will be noticed. These conditions can be corrected by sliding the switch completely to the right in the "Off" position (See Illustration).

PARTS REQUIRED: 1 4793094 Multifunction Switch, Turn Signal/Hazard

REPAIR PROCEDURE:
1. Disconnect battery negative cable.
2. Remove both upper and lower steering column shrouds.
NOTE: ON NON-TILT STEERING COLUMN IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO REMOVE THE STEERING COLUMN COVER AND LINER TO GAIN ACCESS TO REAR SCREWS ON THE LOWER STEERING COLUMN SHROUD.
3. Remove multifunction switch mounting screw.
4. Disconnect wiring connector.
5. Install new multifunction switch P/N 4793094 and attach the wiring connector. Install the mounting screw and tighten to 17 In. Lbs. (2 Nm).
6. Install the upper and lower steering column shrouds and tighten the retaining screws to 17 In. Lbs. (2 Nm).
7. If removed, install the steering column cover and liner.
6. Reconnect the battery negative cable.

POLICY: Reimbursable within the provisions of the warranty.[/align]

What happens when you use the hazard switch do all the lights work?

the problem isnt in the switches. only my front drivers side bulb stays on and with both filaments lit. when i turn my turn signal on, it flashes fast i didnt replace the flasher, but i diddo the headlight switch and turn signal switch, and it still does it when the gauge cluster is removed
