Turn Signal Problem
I suddenly began having a problem with my turn signals. My right turn signal operates fine but, when I actuate the left turn signal, it just stays lit (no flashing). The lights will go off when I recenter the handle. Since the right side flashes fine I'm pretty sure that the flasher is fine. Any thoughts?

It can still be your flasher. Replace it first.
Had the exact same thing happen ona 1966 Chev, and 1989 Chev Chevs, decades ago, one side would flash, other wouldn't.
Also, make sure "all" the bulbs light up on each side.

OP doesn't state what year his car is nor is his profile filled out so we can hazard a guess. Your bulbs have two filaments in them...one filament for parking light and the other for brakes/turn signals. I would start with the easy stuff and replace the offending bulb first. As mentioned, it could be the flasher but my money is on a burnt filament,

First - are the wheels centered - if not I have seen this happen when the wheels are not centered
works fine when moving or turning
also the repro turn signal switches are junk - I have seen this issue with the switch as well

Wheels are centered. Doesn't matter what position the wheels are in.. I do have a repro switch installed
