There are plenty of things to check, and I'll let others jump in re: 
those other things.  My first thought, though, is to check the 
turn-signal (t-s) sockets for corrosion.  I have a similar problem on 
my '85 5ks due to a thoroughly corroded right front t-s socket.  I 
ordered one from Carlsen and, assuming Linda's shipping me the right 
part, it's only costing me $2 plus S&H - and from an Audi dealer, 
even!
