Turn signals don't turn off when wheel is straight

Someone tried to steal my 93 gmc Sierra 1500 and now the turn signals turn off early if they are clicked on to the right and my left turn signal won't turn off at all when turning or even after the wheel is straightened unless I do it myself. The steering wheel was bent from them yanking on the steering wheel so hard and I assume that's what messed everything up. Will an alignment fix my problem???

No a alignment will not fix it. They messed up parts in the column.

The switch inside the steering column is broken. You can repair it if you are a little bit talented with tools .Buy your self a repair manual specific to your model and year. it will show you step by step Chilton or Haynes produce these for $25 any auto parts store. or better yet buy a factory repair manual for your truck but expect to pay $150 plus for it.There is a Factory "Service Manual" and a Unit Repair" manual the later is the one you want.

SOURCE: I have 2005 GMC 1500 4x4 When I turn to the right

The rear differential is doing its job. The wheels are turning at different speeds as you turn, because the radius of the inside wheel is far smaller than the radius the outside wheel makes as it turns. The differential keeps both wheels spinning at the same rate, which means the inside tire is spinning faster than it needs to while in the turn.

Ignition key won't turn

Try turning the key while jerking the wheel left and right and depressing the brake pedal. If that won't work try another key.

I have a 2000 GMC P/U and the dealership gave me a 1999 manual. the fuse block is different. Which fuse contols the driver's side turn signals

None, check your light bulb socket and voltage if you have a 12v probe.
Turn your 4 ways on and see what's flashing.
Probes are cheap and a great thing to have.
Probe the socket and see if you have power.
You don't say if it's the front or rear, that would help.
Also it could be your turn signal switch or light sockets.

Right trailer turn signal does not work when hooked up to my 2003 gmc sierra. The light does work on the truck. Trailer light does work when hooked up with my other vehicles.

Check the plug at your gmc outlet, your right signal wire has been damaged before the plug somewhere. If you have a test light switch your right signal on and make sure it is working at the plug on your gmc, you will find it is not working, than trace the wire back from the plug till you find where it has been damaged or you can run a wire straight from plug to your right signal.

Neither left or right turn signal works on my 1990 GMC Sierra. Brake lights do work. Can you make a recommendation?

Have you tried replacing the turn signal flasher? This is usually a small metal can a bit more than one inch in diameter and one inch tall, located with the fuses. It plugs straight in. You can buy them at any auto parts store. I think on this truck it is located under the dash on the driver's side, in front of the door.
