Left blinker works. When i try right blinker all blinkers come on as if i turned hazards on. Also, headlights work but won't go off when i push in switch. They won't go off until i disconnect  battery. Also tail lights. What is going on?

If you have installed a headlight relay harness the relays may be wired incorrectly. If you don't have a relay harness I don't know what would cause this.

Havent installed anything. Is relay harness same as switch? Novice question

No. A relay harness uses the exiting headlight circuit to power 2 or more relays to then connect the headlights straight to the battery. The headlights can draw more current through the switch than it can handle and sometimes causes it to melt or worst case catch fire. Also a relay harness can improve the voltage at the headlights making them brighter than running them through the switch.

I would start with cleaning all of the contacts with the bulbs if it previously worked correctly.  Then contacts with the switches.  

 

Followed by all of Cruiser54's tips for the electrical system.
