My 95 Lumina has exact same prob. The problem is the rotating part of the switch is held down against the contacts by PLASTIC tabs. One of mine was worn half way through. Pulling back on the turn signal lever places pressure on the switch in a forward direction causing the contacts to touch again. I wrapped a small piece of wire around the hold-down tab to build it up back to original size and that cured it. Now the rotating part of the switch rubs on metal and should last a long time.
Napa has the turn signal switch for $73. A tool to help get the circular clip off was only $8, also at Napa. The Haynes manual was helpful.
