Left Blinker amber rear light stays on

[markf]

Gentlemen,
I have a 1999 Silverado 2500, 6.0 liter, 4x4. Recently, when I activate the left blinker, the left blinker light will not make and break, but will stay on continuously and stay that way even though the turn signal arm has returned to its neutral position. I suspect a faulty turn signal relay. Any thoughts on the matter before a buy a non returnable electrical item. Thank you.

Have you checked the bulbs? Just a guess.

Yes. However, I have just noticed that when the left blinker is signaling, the mileage display on the dashboard dims and gets brighter when the signal makes and breaks.

Hmm.. It could be a faulty blinker switch..that's what I would test first. Does the cruise control and wipers still work normally??

No cruise control and the wipers work normally. I will test the blinker switch. Thank you.
