Many times you can switch the EFS back and forth several times and it will clean the contacts enough to get the turn signals working again. Before doing anything else concerning your turn signal problem, most of the board would advise you to remove the EFS, disassemble, clean all the contacts, then re-install.

Will do, thank you for the information for repair procedures. I will give an update after I've tried disassembling and cleaning the EFS contacts. That sounds easier than tearing into the instrument panel, at least it is worth trying out first. I won't have access to the car until this weekend but will update soon therafter.
