Default 2006 5.7L Megacab blinker issue

when i have a turn signal on, sometimes it will have a "murmur" and blink the other way lol! I bet the drivers that do pay attention wonder about my intentions. Any body have this?

Multifunction lever on your steering column is going bad. The contact inside are getting worn. It works off of resistance and slight change alters its functionality. You need a whole new stick.
btw. The tilt level has torx screws up underneath and it must be removed to take off surrounding bezel.
