turn signal will allow left hand turn signal to display and work. It does not shut off when activated however. Right will not work at all and signal will not move in that direction.

    Your turn signal switch sounds like is coming apart internally and has now kept you from using correctly. This will require some special tools for disassembly and replacement. Better to let a qualified tech repair it. I used to live in colder weather and at times the extra clothing I wore would get caught on the arm of the t/s switch and cause damage. Be careful of this. The turn signal switch will likely be called a combination switch.
