My left turn signal will not turn on. My hazard lights however do work. How do I fix this problem?

Hello,

Suspect faulty turn signal flasher. It is located in the front seating area, driver side, under dash, mounted on upper part of fuse block on kick panel. If flasher is okay, signal switch will need replaced on steering column.

I have checked the bulbs, I have changed the relays and the turn signal switch and my turn signals still don't work. What is the issue?

It sounds like you lost power or ground. here is the wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and which wires to test. I would test through the flasher they go out all the time.
