MITSUBISHI MONTERO 1995-122500 miles - LEFT TURN SIGNAL/LIGHT ALWAYS ON
I can't find anyway to turn this off. I took out the fuse and then it's turned off. but when put the fuse back then turn ligt is back on.
when the engine is started, the left turn light also come on and start beeping and left arrow also start blinking.  

I though it might be a relay or a turn signal thermal flasher but I found these..

If just the left signal is staying on, it isn't the flasher. One of the bulbs, either front or rear, are burned out. Find out which one isn't working and I think you have to take the housing off of the car to change the bulb. GoodluckJoe

If the bulb is not burned out, it's most likely the turn signal combination switch. The turn signal portion of it easily breaks off internally, leaving the signal in the last position (left in your case). The combination turn signal and light switch will need to be replaced. On some Montero models that can be be done without removing the steering wheel. Just removed the bottom steering wheel cover, move the steering wheel in the lowest position and remove the top cover. Then remove the two screws that keep the combination switch in place, unplug the wiring plugs (press plug release and pull out). Relative easy procedure. Buying a new switch will be the most painful part, OEM parts are expensive. Maybe you cna find a refurbished combination switch at an acceptable price.


good luck  

Same happened to my 1996 Montero - 160000 miles. I took it apart and found that there is a very small piece of plastic which was broken. Cheapest replacement I found so far is around $100. I may have to make a trip to my local junk yard.
