Good day to you I had a kia rio once like this and after a little troubleshooting it was the large fuse under the hood. When you look under the hood usually on the right you will see a black box lift off the top and you will see the large fuses, check them with a test light or meter replace the bad one and good to go Good Luck Mike L.

Replace the hazard switch. If it located in the steering column by the turn signal switch. You have to replace the turn signal switch. They are made together.
Head lights and tail lights usually work on a separate system to your cars computer. Reason being is the amount of amps. Far too much for a computer to handle. I would be checking fuses and relays. If they test as OK, then you will need to install a new headlight switch
sounds like a dirty switch, happens a lot in the UK as the switch is checked for the safety every year so the dirt in the switch causes open circuits, it is a complicated switch, it has many contacts that do different things when in and out, try a salvage yard
The tail lights run through the headlight switch, they also run through the combination switch(turn signals) that is a known issue for those trucks try messing with the hazard light switch and see if the start functioning, also if you have a tow package the lights have seconday fuses and relay in the electrical box under the hood
There seems to be a unwritten rule that the tail lights are on the same wire as the dash board lights ... if you have no dash board lights, neither do you have tail lights. There is a blown fuse somewhere, your job is to find the wire causing the trouble and it is likely at a most inconvenient place near a hinge.
check in the fuse box on the drivers side under the hood. Check for "display lights" or "Dash" maybe even under "ACC".
For the signals check for "turn signals" or "Lights"
Should be 15 and 20 amp fuses.
Replace those and everything should work.
If you cannot find the signals and other things in the fuse box when checking the diagram, then look at all the 15 and 20amp fuses by pulling them out with needle nose plyers. Whichever fuses look cracked, snapped or burnt should be replaced. You could pick up a pack of fuses at a gas station or autoparts store for about $2.99
I believe without seeing it, that your turn signal assembly may need to be replaced. take it ti Advance Auto or Auto Zone, they will usually check it for free.
