Default Turn Signal Question

Dunno 'bout the solution, but it's a simple problem: Right turn signal's out. Left side of the switch works fine aside from shutting off the signal until the wheel's turned to "auto-cut" the signal like when you're making a U turn. Push the switch for the right and its totally non-responsive/dead like it's limp. It won't click or anything to that side. You push up the turn signal lever near the wheel and it just falls back into it original position like nothing's catching so to say. This may be general car/electrical knowledge, but I've never had to deal with this so I thought I'd ask up here first. I'm thinking it's a bad switch for the signal, but I'd like to know your thoughts on the problem/cost/parts/time etc and what I'd have to do if I did it myself.... or if its even worth not taking to an electrical pro. Any help's greatly appreciated as always. TiA.



BTW: Excuse this if this is a dupe to some. I posted this in the general discussion aswell.

Either this is a better description, or I don't read so well early in the morning. You have a broken turn signal switch as its right detent isn't working. You need to replace the turn signal switch.

That's what I was originally thinking too. I've recently talked with others, they said the same thing. Thanks jfb.
