If the lights on the left side of your car are not working, then there may be one of several electrical problems. Perhaps a bulb has burned out, or a relay has malfunctioned. As this problem is probably electrical in nature, I would recommend having a professional technician look over the vehicle in order to diagnose the cause of your electrical issues.
