If all the bulbs work properly with the emergency flashers, you need to replace the turn signal switch.

DISABLING & ACTIVATING AIR BAG SYSTEM
CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems

systems have completed a relearn cycle. See COMPUTER RELEARN
PROCEDURES in GENERAL INFORMATION. Record preset radio
stations and obtain code for theft deterrent-equipped radios before
disconnecting battery.
DISABLING SYSTEM
WARNING: SDM maintains sufficient voltage to cause air bag deployment for up to
10 minutes after ignition switch is turned OFF, battery is disconnected,
or fuse powering SDM is removed. In order to begin servicing
immediately, air bag modules must be removed from deployment loop.
NOTE: When SDM fuse is removed and ignition switch is in RUN position, AIR
BAG warning light will be on. This does not indicate a system
malfunction.
Turn steering wheel to place vehicle wheels in straight-ahead position. Turn ignition switch
OFF and remove key.
