signal light problems!
it started out with the left signal flashing rapidly and i noticed that the front left signal wasn't working now nothing working no signals, brake lights or hazzards. I am wondering if the front left bulb burnt out and now its not completeing the sircut? i checked the #1, 20 amp fuse under the dash and it is good. where else could i look for problems?

It sounds like a ground problem to me, if the fuse is good.

One bulb should not take out all your lights. I agree with Jim sounds like a grounding issue to me.

Edit: Check the fuse with an ohm meter to make sure it is good sometimes looks can be deceiving.

#24 is also tied to the turn signals but not the hazards or brake lights.
