When I would use the left turn signal it would make a buzzing sound. I replaced the flasher relay and then the relay would cycle constantly with nothing going. I then replaced the multi function switch and now it cycles properly but the left front signal is not working and the left rear will start working and then get weaker and then dies out. Wondering if anyone has has this problem or has a an idea what’s going on.

I'm thinking a bad connection somewhere in a plug or harness. First place I would check is up on the multi-function switch plugs. I had the wires pull out the back of my plugs after the plastic in the plugs got brittle and the pin retainer tabs broke off. This caused the wires to pull out the back of the plugs and short together/not make solid contact with pins in the switch.
I checked the wires on the harness that plugs into the multi function switch and none of those are loose. I just realized the brake light on the left rear isn’t working either.
I would start with checking all the bulbs in the signaling circuit to ensure they are working properly. Make sure that you don’t have any LED bulbs mixed in, they will cause the system to malfunction.LED bulbs require a separate flasher on our trucks to work properly. Good luck on your investigation
So I changed all the turn signal bulbs and the left front is working but still don’t have left rear blinker or Brake light. Running lights and reverse lights are working.
The next step would be to check power at the bulb socket with a volt-meter. If there's no voltage you'll need to start working backwards up the wire to find the break.
