Alright I've got a 98 2 door Tahoe. A couple weeks ago, whenever I would put on the left side blinker it would start spazzing out and going on hyper mode. I figured one of my lights was burned out, and I would replace it shortly. So I get out of my vehicle the other night, turn on the blinkers, the front one works fine, but the back one does not work at all. If I turn on my headlights, both rear lights turn on. But if I have my headlights turned off, then nothing comes out of the rear drivers side light when I have my turn signal on. If I turn on my hazards, none of the rear driver lights blink. I already replaced the bulb in the turn signal thinking that would fix it, no dice.

So in summary:

- All lights come on when headlights are on.
- No brake lights work in the driver side rear light under any circumstances.
- Rear driver side lights don't turn on when hazards are turned on when headlights are turned off.
- Rear blinker never works under any circumstances.

Anyone know if it's a fuse? Bad relay? If it were a fuse, I'd assume that none of the bulbs in that light would turn on, yet some do.

Do you have a trailer connection? If so check it and make sure its good and the ground wire is still connected

I do have one, never used it though and don't even have a trailer to hook it up to.
