You need to replace the turn signal relay. It should be right next to the hazard (emergency) relay. Turn on the hazards and follow the clicking sound under the driver side dashboard. Once you've located it, if you touch it you can feel the hazard relay working. The other relay is for the turn signal. It's a small round canister. It's just a matter of removing and replacing.

I had the same problem with my 97 Accord. My hazards worked, but the turn signals did not. I thought it was actuallly the signal arm. In the end, it had nothing to do with the signal relay, arm, or bulbs. I just changed a fuse located in the fuse box next to my brake pedal (it was bruned out) and it worked. I don't know what kind of car you have, but if it's a Honda this is probably the problem.

1995 gmc vandura van and the left turn signal doesnt flash nor work properly it has a very slight amount power very dim cant really tell unless you look hard but interior signal indicator stays on.?

I have a 1995 GMC Suburban and started having similar experience with the difference of when I press my brake pedal my dashboard lights come on and my left turn signal stays on when my headlights are on. From conversations with mechanics it may be one of several things. You may want to gently "jiggle" your turn signal handle either while the left signal is on or before turning it on to see if that changes anything. You may want to look at other lights to see if any others are on or off while the turn signal is on. The brakes are wired through the turn signal handle and may effect how the signal is working and this may help narrow down the problem. Make sure you check your bulbs and finally you may have a ground wire that is not grounded well.
