Well it started with an over heating problem which I believe the fan is bad since I can't get it to come on.
But the weird part now is that my drivers side headlight and angel eyes don't work and blinker front and side aren't flashing. Rear drivers side flasher works. flashers on the passenger work on the front and side but not in rear!!!
Checked all fuses and they are good... ??? removed headlights and plugged in the drivers side to the passenger side and it worked. So I know its not a bulb issue.
Any thoughts?!?!?!

I believe all of the lights (at least on the front side) all go through one lighting module, which is tied to two 50A fuses in the front (I think F5 & F6). You may want to check these fuses again, as it is possible one is for the driver's side and one for the passenger side.
If it isn't one of the fuses, the fact that the lights on the other side work might suggest the lighting module is bad or you have lost a localized ground on the driver's side. You might want to probe one of the lighting sockets with a test lamp, with the negative end connected to the ground lug on the driver's side strut tower to see if there is power to the socket, or use a multimeter between the contacts on the socket to measure voltage.
