The turn signals on the GTV6 from my experience are a bugger. Two things I found that go bad are the contacts themselves inside the column switch and the rear lamp boards. The front lamps never seem to be the culprit, unless for a burned or wrong bulb in the socket.
While operating the turn signal switch lever, push it forward (towards the front of the vehicle) and back, towards the rear slightly and see if this results in signal operation. If so, the contacts need to be cleaned with some 400 grit sand paper and some vaseline. If this doesn't do it, check the rear lamp boards. The contact points where they attached the actual lamp housings (sockets) get oxidized and loose their conductivity. Remove the boards completely and either resolder by hand these contact points (rivets) or repunch them with a nail punch or philips screw driver. Recheck all the the bulb housing connections for oxidation and pinch and clean as necessary. Using good common 'electrical' sense, and all this, like a good pastasciutta, makes things work. Good luck!
