That means you have a bad turn signal switch, also called a combination switch.

It's probably something that you're going to need a shop to do for you. It's in the steering column.

No, I'm afraid if you don't recognize a turn signal switch, then you are over your head here. Working around an air bag is way too dangerous for someone that unfamiliar with the steering column.
