WEll i fixed the light switch assembly in the car. I am still having the issue of the right blinker staying lit in the dash. Any idea what is wrong with the car?

Check that your plug is well connected and that the replacement is good

I didnt look but changing the light bulb on my friends new saturn was a pain in the ass that required special bit ect ect. Is the car going to give me trouble switching out the bulb? and I have no idea what you are talking about the pig tail on that side. What is that?

check that all lights work. Some car require every light (related to the blinker) to work proprelly for the blinker to flash. The reason is simple: some have a thermal blinker, those are basically a thermostat, which the switch heat as the current pass, causing it to cut the power when too hot. then it cool down and make again the contact, which make it heat and break... and cool... and heat... and cool...... If there is a broken light it may not have enought current flowing to make it heat, so can't break the contact, or do it slooooowly.

No lights are broken and all the lights are fit in there snug, might be the wires i have no idea.

dogbosser14, does the right side lights work when you turn the turn signal on?

What was up with your other switch you mention?

The switch works when you turn it, but when it is off you still have the light on the dash staying pure green. I ended up fixing the light assembly switch, but putting on a new sqitch did not work getting the light off on the dash.
