Default Weird noise from steering column..

Hey guys, so recently my 2002 GT started making some weird noises from the steering column when my turn signal is on. It almost sounds like a cross between static and popcorn popping (weird I know). It is an intermittent problem, random so far as I can tell, so I can't get a sound clip. Also, I think it may be related, the turn signal doesn't come on sometimes. Any ideas on what this may be? I was thinking left turn signal fluid... but seriously, its kind of pissing me off.

Multi function switch possibly failing/loose connection and the sound is arcing occurring, which can start fires, which is bad, so you may want to fix that lol.


Edit: Here is a diagram..
