Hi! Kevin Hope I can help sorry to hear about your car having issues with the signals on , I would check for moister in the rear [tail lights](/topics-tail-light/) we have seen some issues with the rear circuit boards in the tail lights causing issues you might need to replace the electrical in the rear lights .
