man, you should have come on here to ask for the hesitation problem. Alot of people could have helped you out. Dont take it anywhere before coming on here and asking it's the most recourseful place on the net. My lights went out like yours did, the headlights still turn on- correct? Just replace a 15 amp fuse up in the top right hand corner of the fuse box, see if its burnt out. Thats the mose likely cause. and the turn signal. Check the bulb, and then put some electrical grease in. May be to much corosion. Hope that helps man!

Jeeze, sounds like you got rapped by the shop. Hesitation is normally a $20 fix, turn signals are normally just relays in the CPU or cold solder joints ($20 for relays).

Your light problem is most likely a bad headlight switch. Go to the wreckers and get a replacement, or get one off of eBay.
