My turn signal arrow is stuck on inside my car.. I tried replacing the bulb (which was dumb, bc it was already brand new) and that didn't work so now I'm assuming it'* wiring or something! HELP ME!?!?!?!

The light is stuck on the only way it flashes is if i manually do it....o the right corner light in front won't turn on at all. The wire inside the bulb glows orange... i saw it when i took apart the headlight to switch bulbs. I'm lost as to what the issue is and I'm not payingmy dealership $20-25 the "look" at it. That'* BS in my book!

Did this start happening by any chance after you replaced the turn signal bulb for the first time? If so, did the old bulb come out clean? I had the exact same thing happen to me, except the problem was a small metallic strip within the socket got moved around/broken when the old bulb came out. I just replaced the entire socket all together and it worked great. You can pull the socket off of soooo many cars in the yard, it cost me nothing.
