The lights issue is probably separate from the engine light issue unless it is a bad connection to the battery and/or the battery ground connections that affect the whole vehicle. I would start looking at all of the ground connections starting with the battery to frame ground and then the headlights to frame grounds. Make sure both of the battery terminals are clean.

Sometimes my blinkers work and sometimes they will work on the left only or right only. Do I need to replace the arm

If you are mechanically inclined, there are many videos online such as, Youtube that has step-by-step directions that show you how to remove and reinstall the turn signal assembly. It is under $100 at any auto oarts store.

I have pontiac montana and the shop i got it from replaced and or riged the wire harness. recently both blinker lites are always on, on the dash. and when i push on the brakes my brake lites dont work and...

check for a bad ground wire for the tail lights. You are looking for a black ground wire near the bottom of the left rear corner of the car, inside. you may need to take the trim panel off to find it. if you take out the left tail light you should be able to follow the harness to where the black wires come out and a terminal is screwed to the body. turn on the hazard lights and when you get near the problem the lights will brighten and dim.

I have 2002 camaro , the 4 way lites work , head lites an tail lites work passenger blinkers work but when i turn on drivers side blinkers the only thing that happens is it lites up on the cluster panel

This means that either your front or rear blinker light on your drivers sides is not working. Activate your hazards by pulling up on the knob on your steering column labeled by the orange "hazard" cone insignia.
Then check to see if either the front or the rear driver-side blinker is not working. This one will need to be replaced for both of them to work correctly.

Rear brake light when depressed (hedlights on) brake lights go off . when brake depressed ( head lites off ) one lite works one doesn,t

First off, the brake light circuit is fuse 13 in PDC to brake swicth to rear brake bulbs, there is no physical connection to head lighrts in that circuit. all headlight functions are done by hard wire to the BCM,(body controll module), its locatted behind and attached the JB, (junction block) at the left side of dash, I've seen moisture problems cause alot of problems in these 2 modules, Its alot of work to remove these modules, dash componets need to be removed first,More info on this problem would help. GOOD LUCK, RDJRP

Turning signals not working all the time

Sounds like the blinker relay. Is the emergency flasher switch on the dash above the radio ? If it is the blinkers relay is the same as the emergency relay. If the blinkers stop working pound on the emergency lights switch and if they start working then replace the emergency lights relay switch cause the blinkers is on the same relay as the emergency lights. My 2001 Grand Am does the same and I just hit the emergency lights switch and they start working again.

I have a chevy Silverado with a tow hitch package. I'm try ing to wire in a new hitch because the last one got smashed, I can isolate the right and left blinkers and the brake lights, but on a 4 slot flat...

I can't look up your wiring diagram because I don't know model year?
On some makes and models, the lower brake lites are wired through the multifunction switch. Your turn and stop use the same bulb filament, just not at the same time. On a left turn, the left turn signal works, but the brake lite on the left doesn't. Now, the brake lamp on the right does work. The high mount brake lite also will work. The highmount brake lite is usually wired differently than the lower brake lites.
W/o being able to look at wiring diagram, I don't know if my info is applicable on your vehicle? I need model year.
