That might not be the switch. Sounds more like you have a bad ground on the lights on the left side. If the turn/marker light looses it's ground then the next available path to ground is thru the turn signal indicator.
Check the ground screw on the fender infront of the wheel next to the headlight bucket.
Here is what might be happening..this is the path the current would take if the ground is bad and would light the turn indicator
This would also make your turn signal not work.
Are the marker or turn signal lights a little dimmer on that side?
