: This is the mechanical solid piece inside your steering column. When you complete a turn, a tab on the steering wheel catches this plastic cam and mechanically pushes the turn signal stalk back to the neutral position. If this piece wears down, snaps, or slips out of alignment, your blinker will blink forever until you manually flip it off.
: If your turn signal lights up as a solid green arrow on your dash and refuses to blink away, you likely have a bad flasher relay. This small electronic box is responsible for breaking and closing the circuit to create the flash. When it fails and gets stuck closed, the light stays solid.
: A rapid "hyper-flash" is your car's way of telling you a bulb is dead. If there is no blinking at all, check the fuse or the bulb sockets for corrosion.
