Q: Tail lights signal hazard

asked by on August 03, 2016

I replaced my turn signal switch a little less than a year ago, and both of my lights stopped working in the tail. Then I finally got both of my tail lights working, and now there is no left turn signal or left hazard light. Do you have any ideas as to how I can get all my lights working?
