Default Turn Signal Issues

So I'm having some turn signal issues in my Jimmy. Heres a list of the symptoms
-Turn signals won't cancel
-Left turn signal lights up but does not flash
-Right turn signal operates properly
-One bulb is burned out on the left side (left front bumper), one bulb is burned out on the right side (right front corner), I'm pretty sure its just the bulb that needs to be replaced.
-When putting on the 4 ways, all lights flash at the same speed (except the burnt out bulbs)

I would think that the flasher might be the cause of the turn signal just staying lit, but I would think that the right would stay solid also. So, where should I start? I was going to look at the bulbs to see what is up with them and check out the sockets also.

You should definitely fix the bulbs first. The cancelling issue is a problem inside the column, probably the turn signal switch itself, because the cancelling cam really can't go bad in this respect. fix the obvious first (blown bulbs) then repost.

Ok so I replaced the burnt out bulbs, and now both sides flash. As far as the turn signals not canceling, I wasn't sure if I should be looking to replace the turn signal stalk or the turn signal cam...and at that I'm not really sure how to do either
