Installed LED Side Mirrors - Turn signal stuck on!
As the title states, I just finished installing the side mirrors with the turn signal chevrons in them. Once I grounded them everything worked fine, and I tested them various times while I was putting everything back together to make sure they still worked. Well close to the very end my battery died and I had to jump it off. And after I put the last few things back together (middle console mainly) the turn signal STAYS on. It stays on everywhere, rear, side mirror, front, and dash. One solid turn signal, no blinking. Anyone have any ideas? I can't imagine the last few things I did messing anything up (much less both of them). Maybe something to do with jumping the car off?
Any ideas?
[EDIT] To be specific, each turn signal stays on when I turn it on. If I have the stalk in the middle (no turn signal), neither light up.
EDIT #2] Should also mention that one of the things I installed was the hyperflash harness because my right signal was hyperflashing due to the Halo LED tail lights I installed. Maybe I should try uninstalling it?
Today was going so well. Spent 7 hours installing various mods and toys I've been collecting over the past few months and this happens at the very end

Just a guess but id say a defective hyperflash harness is more likely to cause this type of problem than the mirror signals. Remove the harness and see what happens.

I went out turned the turn signal on then started banging under the dash around the knee panel and everything went back to normal Old solutions are the best solutions. Hit it til it works!
I'm guessing it was something with the harness, but the drive went fine and everything looks good! A productive day!

Hopefully the problem is fixed after 7 years. In any case, closing this down and moving it to C5 Tech.
