Toyota Repair: 2000 solara turn signal does not turn off, left turn signal, solara

Question
do you know what would cause the left turn signal to remain on constantly? switch seems to self cancel but left signal does not stop blinking. when placing the switch in the position to turn on right turn signal only the left signal operates. nothing has been done to correct this problem. please help

Answer
Check the bulbs and the bulb sockets in both the front lights, including turn signal and parking lights as well as the rear, check to make sure none of the bulbs are mixed up, there are some that have a single contact and some have two, if that's not the case then I would suspect some sort of short circuit in the combination switch or the wiring, has it been in an accident?
