Are you are sure there is no power at the right turn output terminal? I ask because, if I remember correctly, the internal indicator lamp circuit is wired to use the opposite circuit to that of the selected direction and depends on those lamps being connected. A broken circuit could explain why the dash light only works when the flashers don’t, and vice-versa.
I therefore think the fault might lie in the wiring between the switch and the lamps. I suggest you try powering the right indictators directly by connecting a live source to the right output terminal on the switch (You may be able to short directly between the input and that terminal?).
If that fires up the lamps then I am wrong and the fault is definitely in the switch. In that case it definitely sounds as if the various contacts are not making correctly when you change over and it needs to be fettled.
Bon courage!
