One touch blinker help

Yesterday jump in truck head out and when I go to use right (passenger) blinker and it doesn't stay on. Left side works fine. It will stay on if held but on it's own it blinks like 4 times then shuts off. Any help would be appreciated Thanks!

Side note not sure if connected but a couple days before was using wipers and when I shut them off it was still like it was on intermitting. It happened a couple times but seems fine now, but then with the blinker I am wondering if it is something in there.

Anyway thanks for any and all help.

Oh and of course it is inspection month

Check the manual. It's a lane change type of signal thingy.
I don't like it.
I'm old school - I like on/off.

Probably need to replace the multifunction switch. That's what the lever is known as. They wear down a bit sometimes.

My bad haven't updated profile since I joined. It is a 2011 F250 xcab sb 4x4 6.7. I figuired I would have to do that. Sucks 52,000 miles already had a short which stopped blinkers from working. Corroded wires caused by rubbing now a bad switch and out of warrenty

Well I think the wipers are involved. Last night went out and blinker wasn't working but it was raining and when I got back to house and went to use blinker to turn in driveway and it worked.
