Default daytime runing light and blinker issue

So I took my 2000 SS to the muffler shop the other day and when I turned on the left blinker it didnt blink. When I got to the shop I checked the bulbs and they looked fine, then I noticed the left front daytime running light wasnt on. I turned on the parking lights and it lit up but still no blinky. When I got it back home I took out the left front bulb and repaced it with a new one, nothing. So, I took a test light the socket and I got no power to the socket until I turned on the parking lights. I have no idea where to start looking. Anybody have any ideas?

I almost have the same problem but the thing with my car is my daytime running lights are fine, its just my blinkers that dont work. Thell be working fine then stop working after then start again. When I put my signal on as Im turning they don't go on. My rear break lights don't work either, its totally random when the'll work and when they won't.

I was told to change the multifunction switch. Im not completely positive that this is what you need but it could be something to look into. When I change it, Ill let you know the results, Good Luck!
