    Ok, my right turn signal in my cluster always has a glow to it...the faster i drive, the brighter it gets. What could cause this? I know its not just the cluster, because I have changed the cluster (not because of this issue) and the first one did the same thing!:huh:

    Mine were doing the same thing on the right side only. Front wouldn't flash, rear would but on both sides at the same time, side markers would flash with the right signal! Turned out something is wrong with the right front light assembly. Replaced it with a spare I had and now everything is back to normal!

    Check the ground at the front turn signal and rear tail light on the affected side. Also check the socket very carefully.
