There is a relay that probably went bad. I haven't had this problem on my 84 myself, but on my 67 it's under the dash. I am pretty sure you have a relay (silver square or round) in your fuse box. If it's not the relay, it could be the switch itself which is located in the column connected to the lever. There might be someone here with more knowldege of how it's set up but this should give you some idea on where to start.

You have a point about the other side still working. It's possible that you have a loose wire on your light socket that's acting as if the bulb is burned out. I'd check out your sockets and wiring first, followed by checking the switch in the column itself.
