Whenever I go to turn my left turn signal on, it makes rapid clicking noises. However, the light does not actually flash, only if in a specific position usually found by very slightly wiggling it. My right signals turns on just fine and the left one turns on fine with hazards. I tried electronic contact cleaning spray, but it didn’t work. Should I get it checked out or just leave it be? Any and all suggestions helpful!

Yep, it sounds like the turn signal switch is out, but I have also seen the light failure sensor cause strange problems like this as well. Here is the blinker wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and how to change out the switch which should fix it. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems so we can see what to help you with.
