My first thought is to check the grounds.  I had a car that did this
brand new.  The dealer replaced the flasher, eventually the turn
signal stalk.  The problem turned out to be a defective socket, with a
bad ground wire.  I'm not clear on how the front left turn signal
caused the right side not to work properly, but it did.
