Default C5 headlight and signal problems

Hey guys I'm having some troubles with the headlights and turn signals on my car. The headlight problem started before the signal one so I'm not sure if they're related. First I have no low beams, at all, only high beams. Not a bulb problem, voltage to lights is 12v for the high beams. When you switch the lows on, the voltage for the high beams drops to about .09 volts, and the low beams hover around 1 volt. When switched off totally there is 0 volts on all wires. The turn signals have now also just started acting up. Left turn signal works perfect, but the right turn signal turns on the hazards and makes the entire dash flash with it, everything but the radio, lights on gauge cluster and hvac switch on and off in rhythm with the signal. Now when the headlights are on the right signal does nothing at all, the right indicator on the dash is stuck on regardless of turn signal position. Also the front right DRL bulb does not light up ever, and both are brand new, left side works perfect.
Totally lost for ideas here, not sure where to start, I just replaced the hazard switch when I had the dash pad off doing the heater core. The only thing that makes me think they're related is the headlights seem to affect the problem with the right signal.
Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!
