Default Turn Signal Relays

Hey guys, so the Berlinetta has that funky turn signal switch and I just finished tearing it apart and repairing a broken tab. Now it works! But here's the thing. I noticed that the switch only tells the relay to kick on or turn off. I can hear the relay click behind the dash in the center when I switch to left or right turn. Lights come on. My problem is, the left turn signal flashes on and off when I select it, but the right turn signal requires me to keep the switch held up, meaning constantly making an actual contact in order for them to flash. Both sides flash like they are suppose to, but the right turn signal is not being told to switch on by either the relay or flasher. I know the switch is not the problem. What relay or flasher unit controls the right turn signal? where is it located? Got any ideas guys?

are you saying you have to hold the switch up in order for it to stay functioning?

There's one flasher relay for both left and right turn signals. If one side works but not the other, it's not the flasher.
Sounds like you're saying the right side only works if you force the lever up? It's the switch under the steering wheel then.

that's correct, but remember that Berlinetta's dont have a lever on the column. Instead its at the bottom of the left pod. The electronics underneath are working fine, ever since I repaired them. The right turn signal will only keep clicking on and off if I keep applying force up, to the little lever. There's a turn signal switch under the drivers side dash? What's it look like?

Isthe switch inside the column? I've noticed that the turn signal canceler doesn't work at all. It's gotta be all related.
