weird things happen

Still got problems with left turning signal permanently on,i´ve removed both front and back bulbs on left side still the left turn signal indicator is permanently on.....when i brake the instrument lights go slightly dim and the voltage meter drops to below 12v...right turn signal works occanionally....but it works...flashing normally when the sh...t wants to...
it must be the turn signal unit...or....is it possible to buy a cheap turn signal relay and rebuild the whole system......help me please

You say you removed the bulbs. Did you replace them with new good bulbs? It is possible for a portion of a bulb to go and screw with the flow of electricity and still look like it is working. Lot cheaper replacing four bulbs (1157 front 1034 rear) then replacing the TSM.

usually when you have weird things like that, it is because there is a ground wire not properly grounded somewhere in the system. before changing modules, check bulbs and check your grounds.
