You probably have a bad turn signal switch. Sometimes when they overheat because of excessive resistance plastic parts will melt causing these types of problems.

If your car is running daytime running light system .. there is a DTR relay that goes defective and needs replacing ... I had the identical problem that was fixed with this replacement. The DTR relay is behind the glovebox.

SOURCE: 2005 Ford Focus ZX3 SES, the blue high beam

It sounds like you are confused about how your headlamp system is supposed to work. The DRL does not run on the High beam circuit, it runs on the low beam circuit. The fog lamps are supposed operate with the park lamps and also with the low beams, not the high beams. From your description, I would say that your system is operating as designed and you are having trouble telling High from Low. (Don't feel bad, that is why high beam indicators were invented in the first place.)

I have a Chevy impala LT 2006 I need to know Why my turn signal and hazards and bright lights won't work

Likely a bad ground, but could be a fuse(s), or a failed multifunction switch, or BCM. It requires circuit testing to identify the cause.

2000 Jeep Cherokee: with the tun signal lever in the rear position (head lights on "LOW"beam) and then activated for a "LEFT " turn, both rear turn signals blink.

Does it do the same with the lights on 'High' beam? If it works correctly on 'High' beam it could be the switch in the lever at fault.
Next check the fuses for the turn signals and the Hazard lights. They will be in the fuse box under the hood. Some vehicles will have separate fuses for Left, Right and Hazard lights others may share fuses.
If the fuses are OK it could be a faulty flasher unit. Check to see if the hazard lights work correctly. Some vehicles use separate flasher units for turns and hazards and others share 1.

What could be the problem if my turn signals stop working on my 2006 hyundai azera. i have low beam lights but want turn on bright

Check your fuses first and then check your hazard flasher relay. As for your high/low beams, could be your head light switch itself.

I have a 1983 Chevy S10 pickup. With headlights off all gauges work normal. When you pull the headlight switch on all the panel lights except the windshield wiper switch locator light never turn on and all...

take a look at the dash ground wire located next to the right of ebrake release handle. if the bole holding the ground wire is loose, which was quite common it will cause all kinds of feed back problems, like described in the comments section to your question.

The headlights are stuck on high beam.

pull on the signal lever toward you (ceter position). the signal lever controls the head lights either high beam or low beam. if you pull on the signal lever toward you again, you will have high beam temporarily. and if you push the signal lever towards the front, you will have the high beam locked.
