Default One Brake light working...

Just installed the harnesses last week and finally i'm working on the brake lights well when i step on the brake only the passenger side one goes off, same with the hazards and even the turning signal only works on the right side, now i've already cleaned the terminals and put new bulbs, i even ohmed the bulb terminal to the connector that plugs into the dash harness and got a complete circuit, so no bad wires or wiring. My guess is its the Directional signal switch in the steering column is bad. Can anyone confirm this? And if it is how easy is it to replace?

Before you replace the switch, check the connections at the harmonica connector under the column.

thanks, i never actually pushed the connector all the way on, that saved me 20$ but as i flicked the switch it was nice to see the left light come on but it wasn't flashing so it ends up when i did that the 8 year old flasher died, cheaper fix though.
