Exclamation Turn signal problem on 89 300E

Hi, i have a problem on my 89 300E, the turn signals seem to not work properly. When i use the right turn signal, only the rear signal flashes, while the front doesnt.

The left turn signal flashes both left and right front lenses, but the rear left side doesnt blink at all, but on the cluster the arrow flickers like it should.

Another weird thing is, when i have my headlights on, on the cluster the left turn signal arrow stays on. Even when im not using it at all. The signals dont work at all either, when the lights are on.

My high/low beams work fine, reverse lights work fine, and the brake lights work fine. Only problem i see is that the hazards lights dont work.

Any ideas on how to get this fixed?

Tried searchin but didnt turn up anything.

Thanks!

You have a ground problem. Start looking for corrosion or loose ground points.

Flashers function based on the amount of resistance in the circuit, so if a filament burns out, the flasher usually won't work properly.

Check all the bulbs.

Did you solve the problem?

I have similar problem from tonight.

When the headlamps are off,
all turn signals work fine with the usual audible click.

When the headlamps are on,
left turn signals are steadily on at max brightness. The left-pointing green arrow is also steadily on. They do not blink even when push down the turn signal lever.
When I push up the turn signal lever, right turn signals and right-pointing green arrow blink, the left turn signals and left-pointing green arrow are steadily on, and there is no audible click sound or the click sound is of low loudness.

Still havent solved the problem yet. I tried using a jumper to see if the voltage was low or not, which didnt seem to be the case. I also switched out some fuses, still a no go. Next step is to change the bulbs to oe, because the ones that are there are some cheap-o kragen brand.
