Default wiring problem

Hello,
All the turn signals, brake lights and tail light work fine on the left side, I can only get the tail light to work on the right side. No front or back trun signal no brake light. Any thoughts?

Start with the most likley, a bad bulb or socket issue. Swap those left to right and if still not working, most probable cause is the turn signal switch.

ok thanks. I swapped the bulb from the working side and it didn't light, put it back to the working side and it lit. secondly the front is not working as well so i eliminated the bad socket thought. on the turn signal relay under the dash i hear a fast normal ticking for the working left side and a very slow and dull tick when the right is trying to blink. i put in a new relay and the same result. maybe i go for the turn signal switch in the dash?? Never done one, any thoughts on how hard they are to do??
