I saw that this thread made it all the way to the second page without a response, so I thought I'd give it a go.
I suspect the directional lamp relay/flasher.
If the directional switch were bad, they would either not select L/R, or would not turn off (but would flash)
the lights staying on bright indicates the relay's Timer function has failed; and is not allowing the relay to release (turn the element off)
Although remote, the possibility exists that the l/s multifubction switch may have an issue as well (Cuz you didn't mention the switch position at the time of failure). But I'd look at the Relay/Flasher first

Hope this helps

I would concur with P_Adams
I also go a bit further. Push your 4 way flasher button (hazzard lights) and see if it makes any difference.

p_adams X2 but with a twist. I would check all of the solder joints on your current flasher and re solder if needed before you repace it........
