My dome light still sticks on sometimes and my turn signals arent working again. I think they are both on the same fuse, but what could cause this problem, a short? a bad ground?

also when i go to start my car somtimes it clicks like the battery is dead then i try again and it starts right up. Could it be a bad battery ground causing all of this?

Could be a "fused relay" under the hood.

Check out your fuse compartment under the hood. You may have corrosion on a fuse or relay...

its a 95 sunfire. Ok i found that if i turn my 4 ways on and then try my turn signals they work. Not sure what that would be though. (not while the 4 ways are on, just turn em on then off then my turn signals work)

I would get up under the dash. THis vehicle may have had a remote start/security on it and the dealer could of removed it and done a poor job at it.

I test drove an Alero that "had" and alarm/starter on it and the dealer TRIED to remove it...

The turn signals wouldnt work...
