If all had been working correctly before, it is probably either a bad turn signal switch or a bad ground. Obviously, check all of the ground connections first. Especially from frame to body.

As Longhorn just said, try replacing the bulb. I should of mentioned it myself.

If the headlights being on cause the turn signal not to work then definitely you have a ground problem. Sometimes the socket to reflector loses contact so after checking ground on the housing if the problem remains, check that.
