Vg v6 ute
so ive got a vg ute and I recently started it up and found drivers side lights don’t work headlight, indicators even hazzards dont work on drivers side.

The only light that works is the park lights and high beam, even the indicator light on the dash doesnt go, i thought it might be a relay or corrosion but everything seems fine

Any ideas would be great

Yea double checked fuses and relays, I found a wire that wasn’t to flash so i re Soldered it,

Now i have the drivers side indicators working aswell but they’re flashing as if a bulbs out, still no hazard lights ether

Kinda points towards an issue with the hazzard switch.

Yea thats kinda what i was thinking but i thought that would affect both sides rather than just the one, it still has no low beam witch Is another issue im confused about

Id be thinking the issues are not related. I reckon have a play with the hazzard switch as these are known to fail.
