Only way of diagnosing the lock issue is by removing the inner door panel and checking. Most likely causes are a broken internal door latch spring, faulty actuator, or linkage. Try flushing out the door lock cylinder with penetrant and gently work the key back and forth to try free it up.

For your turn signal issue check the MFS connector in the steering column first. If not, probably a faulty MFS switch.
