I just replaced the 2 lights behind the HVAC controls with LED lights and now when I turn my left turn signal on, it will turn on but not blink. The green arrow on the instrument cluster will illuminate without blinking, and all the exterior driver side turn signal lights turn on without blinking. Passenger side signals all work fine. I was thinking either a faulty flasher relay or a bad bulb somewhere. Any ideas?

Check both front and rear turn signal bulbs and replace flasher can.

If problem persists, then it is most likely the LED bulbs. Some LED units require a resistor be placed in line with power wire, because the LED lamps require far less electricity than the factory bulbs do.

Or, remove the LED bulbs, replace with factory bulbs and if turn signals work then the LED's are your problem.

It ended up being just a burned out bulb. The LED's I put in have resistors built in to them, so maybe this was just a coincedence. However, this morning I noticed that on the driver side, the smaller bulb on the front turn signal is burned out now, or maybe the connection is bad. But if this keeps happening, I'll just rid of the LED's, like you suggested. Thanks for the help.
