Light issue

Hey, so I just bought a 97 f250 7.3 zero rust with just under 150k miles. I am going through fixing little things and I can't figure out the head lights/turn signal/hazards.
So the drivers side will light up all three ( head light and markers/turn signal) but will not blink. The passenger side will only light up the main headlight and not the others but it will blink when I turn the signal/hazard lights on.
I checked the relay on both side's of the fuse board switched the front to the back and the back to the front and its still doing the same thing. I put new bulbs in tried both direction in case it didn't like the way the bulb was sitting and it still doesn't work.
Could the 522's both be a little bad and causing this? Now the rear lights all work turn signals and hazards regardless of what i use.

Could this be a bad socket? All the lights have power one way or the other, could this be a bad signal lever/hazard button?

Getting a little stumped on what I thought would be a simple fix

Thanks for any suggestions

I think i figured it out, all the grounds broke free from the bolts there is one on the driver side and two on the passenger side, does it matter if I bolt the two passenger sides together?

Thanks

I was thinking bad grounds when I read your first post. It will not matter on if you attach both ground at the same place. bad grounds can do so crazy things.
