According to 97.113, IFeverything works correctly on both sides when
the turn signals are used, the problem can only be bad switch L
section or no contact at the switch L terminal, track 118.  Cycle the
connnector and inspect the terminals, but odds are high it's internal.

You can disassemble the switch if you're handy that way, may be able
to clean it.  Sometimes a failing switch works better if you operate
it with a sharp snap.  But the real answer is going to be a switch.
