It'll probably just be the switch on the steering wheel
they come out easy.... Just go to the wreckers and snag one they can't be more than $5-$10

Nah the clockspring has nothing to do with the signal lever.. the clockspring supplies communication to the horn/airbag/cruise control..
you need a new turn signal lever the release tab is broken.. its easy to replace its about a 10 min job
I got a bunch of levers and clocksprings I'm gettin rid of :P

ClockSpings can be replaced not repaired...
only 1 way to find out
pop the top of your steering column and unplug the turn signal assembly then push the tab and pull it up
once out hold the handle and push the handle to either side till it clicks into place you will see a small tab on the inside pop out push the tab to either side to see if it releases if it fails to pop out or release when you flick it side to side then its the handle if it does release then it's the clock spring
the tab is thin plastic and I've already replaced one on one of my cars cuz they held the handle up while turning and it broke
here the tab on one of the handles
in its retracted state (turn signal not engaged)
heres the tab extended out (turn signal engaged)

Happened to me twice on two different Foci ... Ford replaced the whole unit under warranty both times and IIRC there was a TSB on it too.
