OP says he can feel it vibrating. To me sounds like the turn signal unit is
bad. It won't stick in one place long enough to do anything useful. Heating
element is probably too corroded to heat up properly.

I can't see something like this being particularly hard. It's easy to
remove under-dash trim, although clips might be brittle when the car is
almost 30 years old. And it's got to be roomier under the dash than in my
car, so peeking under there with a light should be possible.
