Turn signals randomly turning on? 5 Months ago  
This has been going on for a while and not sure why it is happening, but it annoys the people around me and could lead to accident if people think I am turning. Does it mean my signal switch is wore out that it is turning on? I'm guessing maybe bumps in the road are causing it but not positive. Thoughts?

I would suspect it is due to the work you did installing your new mirrors that have the built in turn signals.

Mine did that occasionally. I started making sure I manually cancelled them and that seemed to stop it. Hope that helps.

I would think that too except when I catch it happening I can push the cancel and it quits. if it was in the front and rear wiring (which is done right, soldered, heat shrink, etc) how would that allow me to cancel with pushing thhe signal switch? At this point I'm thinking it may have done that before I changed the signals..

Clean the switch then.
