Why do you think the stalk switch is bad?

(The whole stalk has to be changed.)

The left signal must be held just right to work and the right must be
held up manually to work . The left brake light doesn't work all the
time either and I noticed a bit of smoke coming out around the signal
switch area. The conclusion seems to be the switch.

Mine does the same thing, it's quite a PITA to have hold the stalk just
right to get the blinker going. I asked my uncle about it and he said
something about a special tool.

Well first of all you need a steering wheel puller and I think you
need a spring compressor of some sort for the plate.

Yes, the entire stalk has to be replaced. Read the Helm manual for the
procedure.
