Do everything cletis said first. that should fix some of the problems. I had the same problem with having to turn them the oppisite direction and then off to get them to go off. if you pull off your stearing wheel you will see how they work. there is a piece in there that attached to the lever that has a little lever that attaches to a cable that runs down the column to the actual switch. more than likely mechanical parts are worn out and they are not moving the cable precisly enough. I found a nos turn signal ket and replaced most of my parts and it work much better but not perfect. It will be kind of a pain to get them to work right. I pulled the switch from the column and moved it by hand to make sure all the lights worked then you will no you have your other problems solved before you tackle the problem in the column. Also I don't think they wired the parking lights to come on in the front with just one pull out. I think I have seen instructions on how to rewire it so they will on here somewhere.
