Turn Signal Fail

I did that, both left and right, and the hazards worked. They will not work with the turn signal lever centered. Now, the question is that normal?:

No The turn signal switch itself may be going bad

I also found a hot positive wire next to the turn signal flasher. It is not hooked to anything and I could not find a connective wire for it. The heater motor, radio, and wiper motors all work. The cigarette lighter is connected. Any idea what this wire might be for?

Describe the end connector, and color of the wire?
