[s-cars] No turn signals w/lights on

What's weird is when I'd try them I heard this noise that sounded like the fresh air flap closing. I hear it when I start the car too, but that has been like that ever since I got the car.  Wonder if that's why my heat only works so-so ?

That doesn't make sense with the description of the problem - his 
headlights work, but when they are on, he loses his signals, as I read it.

I'm thinking maybe he lost a ground, but I'm not sure where.
