Default Turn Signal on Solid

This is strange, This morning when I started my 01 GP up the right turn signal light on my dash & hud was lit solid - checked the signal stalk & it was not switched to the right. Left turn signal works correctly and stays off when turned off. Unplugged the bulb from the right front headlight housing & the light went dim on the dash, but the rear turn signal light is still lit. I can hear a faint buzzing sound coming from under the dash below the steering column when the lights are lit. Only thing I've done recently in that area is removing the ignition switch interlock solenoid to cure the sticking key syndrome, and that was just unplugging it & removing it. Any Ideas??

Flasher relay could be on its way out.

Unless the turn signal switch is engaged, the flasher module does nothing. I doubt it's the flasher module...

I had the same problem with my 95 Riviera, after the blinker stayin on constant it just stopped working all together same buzzing sound, i replaced the turn signal switch and still didnt fix it all relays and fuses were good. I would drive everyday without a turn signal at all. Never figured it out...
