I have a 79 Malibu. I recently just installed a brand new Painless Performance wiring harness and fuse block. The only problem im having is the front turn signals. All the wiring in the engine bay is perfect and the bulbs and flashers are all brand new. Whats weird is that the hazards work but the left and right turn signal doesnt. Please help

Only the fronts don't work when the turn signal is used, but all the signals work when the hazards are on? Sounds like wiring...
If the dash indicators light up but don't flash the turn signal flasher's probably bad. If the dash indicators, the front & rear turn signals outside light up & flash when the hazards are on but the turn signals don't work inside or out, it's a bad turn signal switch.

The turn signal switch is in the column.
Looks like this:

The hazard flasher and turn signal flasher are different parts, but operate the same bulbs. Since 1 flasher works and the other does not, I would look at the turn signal flasher.
