Can almost guarantee you that your switch is still fine but that the little operating bracket that the lever screws into has come loose.

Pull off the steering wheel. Unscrew your turn signal lever. Remove the screws holding the switch to the shroud and pull the switch out a couple of inches. You may have to unplug the switch from the harness down at the edge of the dash and push the wires up a bit. You'll see that the lever screws into a squareish piece that is retained to the switch shaft with a nut and a locking tab. Bend the tab out of the way, tighten the nut, bend the locking tab back. Done.

For a more certain job, use a little Loctite on the nut and on the bracket to shaft joint.

In the unlikely event your switch is bad--they are quite robust--I have several.
