The switch is bad. If you have a Chiltons or Haynes manual, you can change it quite easily, but it's a bit more involved than we have room to go into here. You will need to deactivate any airbags, remove the steering wheel, and then remove the whole turn signal/wiper switch assembly. It takes about 30 minutes, but there's a few steps that really need to the great pictures in the Chiltons or Haynes books.
