My directionals do not work unless I manually work them, all of the bulbs have been replaced, and the emergency flashers work.
When I turn on the directionals, they do not light up unless I lightly pull the directional lever toward me.
For the time being, this is how I am using them, but it is not only annoying, it is potentially dangerous, what can I check next?

your vehicle uses separate flasher relays for the signals and hazards. most likely your turn signal flasher relay has failed, it is located behind the left side of the dash, right of the steering column. if the flasher is good then the turn signal switch itself may be at fault .
