Mine started doing it about a month ago, but I haven't had the problem for about 2 weeks now.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

This is caused by the turn signal relay which is a common problem for our cars.

I believe you can get a replacement relay for $30 new.

Good luck!

I had the exact issue a while back in my 99.5. My turn signals would stick on whenever it was warmer than 80*F outside. I replaced my turn signal aka hazard relay and it 100% fixed the issue.

how do you replace the relay? Is it an easy job? And where is the relay located?

I had the same problem, but all I did was to spray some wd 40, and that fix the problem.

The turn signal relay is in your hazard flasher which is the triangle right above your radio. It is a VERY easy fix and a common thing to go out. You can get a new one here - http://www.autoanything.com/relays-s.../201A2294.aspx

Buy the radio removal keys at Walmart for $4, slide the radio out without unplugging it, reach in and push up on the back bottom of the hazard switch. That'll tip it forward out of the dash. Grab it, pull it out, unplug it and plug in the new one, then reseat it and the radio and you're done.
