The turn signal switch on your car should have the "lane change feature"
(one of the first cars so equipped), but it should also click into a "stay
on" position. It is very common for the plastic tangs which provide this
action to break off on these cars, particularly if you have the
"Tilt-O-Scope" wheel. Most of us have had to replace our turn signal
switches over the years; it is a very time consuming job, but one that the
amateur can do with patience.
The IML archives contain numerous articles about the procedure, and also
will give you the part number of the switch you need. If your car does not
have the fancy wheel setup, I don't know anything about it, but suspect the
problem and solution are similar, although the part number would certainly
be different. By the way, NAPA sells a rebuilding kit for these switches,
but I have used it and been disappointed in the results (my cornering lights
quit working).
