The switch under the steering wheel is made of plastic and it has worn out. You can remove it and bend the copper contacts up a tad and it will work better, but it needs a new one which is about a hundred bucks.
If the turn signals are inoperative check the hazard switch, if the hazards don't work replace the hazard switch, the signals will start working. if the hazards are ok ,the turn signal switch may be bad.
Start with the easy fixes first. Check your fuses. If your fuse that is labeled for the turn signals is not blown, then it is most likely the combo switch in your steering column that your turn signal switch is connected to.
To find the cause of the low beams not working, start with the bulb to make sure both are ok. Check the dimmer switch, and the wiring from the switch to the headlights.
Well so far I have found that when I turn my headlamps on and switch to the high been and then use the rocker switch for the hazards, it will allow for my turn signals to start working again.
May be a defective ignition switch
Dayne Beams Started AFl in 2009
I would start with the easy answer. Check both of your headlamps to be sure that the low beam filament is still intact. If all is well there, I would start leaning towards the multi-function switch (which is the headlamp / turn signal lever.

The signals and the emergency flashers have separate circuits, separate fuses, separate flasher relays. Start with checking the fuses, the bulbs, the signal flasher relay and wiring and if it still doesn't work it may be the signal switch is bad.
From my previous experiance, could be Multifunction switch (on steering column) Do the turn signals flash normal on both sides? Let me know,Ben
The bulbs could be burned out, the fuse could be bad, the switch that turnes them on/off could be bad, or there could be a faulty wire somewhere in the circuit. This is all I can think of right away, I'd start by checking the fuse and replacing the bulbs, and if neither of those fix it, you may have to take it in to a mechanic to check the switch and circuit wiring unless you know a fair amount about electrical systems.
The answer is, a shorted turn signal switch. I just replaced mine after experiencing the same thing. Be careful, if you wait too long, it can short internally and start smoking or catch fire. I experienced the "Smoking Switch" and quickly removed the 10 amp fuse under the hood for the turn signals, then replaced it. Good Luck.
