Stuck in what, mud? Kinda poor description to do diagnostic work, but the two most common problems are the grounds and the turnsignal switch. Check each housing for good grounds. The turn signal switch is supposed to turn the light off in the direction of the turn, so check to see that this is operating correctly.

Some of the original sockets can be a problem...as stated,check grounds but examine socket carefully..also,not clear if you mean turn signal indicator is on to that side and light does not blink..????.change flasher if that is the case...
