Question left hazard.. no turnsignal though

ok so i figured i would work on the cars other isues, while i wait to get my motor on monday... the turnsignals dont work... but when i turn on my hazards.. my left signal works...????? iv searched the forum but could not find this problem anywhere... there re alot of spliced wires, cause the previous owner put in an alarm system.. so im thinking this is the prob. but why would my left turn light work with hazards on and not the left turn signal...??

I assume you've checked the bulbs on the right signals. The turn signals and hazard lights use the same circuit in the CPU. Difference is the switches. Sounds like your combination switch may need cleaning.
Try
the hosing method
or
the disassemble method

Check the ground near the rear tail lights. Make sure it is clean and tight.

The connection at my flasher unit is getting weird. It progressed from jiggling the wires would fix the blinkers for about a day, to jiggling it causes the flasher unit to buzz and the blinker lights don't work anymore. What is my problem? Bad connection? Bad CPU? Bad flasher unit relay thing?
