| -My four way hazards work! and they flash
-My brake lights work
-ALL the exterior and interior lighting fuses are GOOD
could it be the flasher itself? |

| Try changing the flasher unit first. The multifunction switch costs 100x as much and takes 10x as long to install.

| Yes, take out screws, pull down plastic panel, flasher is silver thing that looks like this:  Sorry, I mean like this:  Get it at any auto parts store. I think it's around $5-$10.

| It is odd that only one side works. Could be something in the multi-function stalk. You could try replacing the turn signal flasher under the dash.

My car did this as well, the arrow would stay lit up and not flash on the dash. Change the bulb in the taillight and your problem should be solved. Although it is strange that your hazards still work, I never tried mine while experiencing that problem. |

| 99.9% of the time it is a burned out bulb.
Turn key on and turn signal lever to left and check front and back to find bad bulb.
The reason the hazards work is they are on the brake light circuit. Different filament. |
