You have a blown bulb. Check ALL the bulbs on the left side. Sometimes they'll look ok but are really blown. If you're sure it's not a bulb issue then it's a bad blinker relay. But 9/10 times its a bulb.

Problem might be in the steering column then, strange the hazards work. these cars are notorious for turn signal problem because of the cheap lever itself.

Might be a loose wire inside the turn signal lever

most likely a bad socket on the tail light harness, the wire connections are flimsy and often break, usually the ground wire. Put the left turn signal on with the tail lamp removed and the bulbs hanging free. and get a spare piece of wire a few feet long. Touch the wire from the car on a clean grounding point to each turn signal bulb's metal base one at a time. The signals will start working when you find the bad socket, then replace it or the harness.
