I have no experience with this but would guess you have a problem with the central electronic module. What year is the car?

I would focus on cleaning the switches in the column first. You might be able to jam a straw into it and saturate with contact cleaner.

Work the stalk back and forth with the key out.

There might be a cover on the bottom of the column you can remove. Check the Matthew's site.

I would just replace the switch. It's about $100, but it has likely failed internally.
