You didn’t say if you just bot the car but that’s what it sounds like.
Test all the bulbs that don’t illuminate, and make sure they are the correct type, and installed correctly.
A common mistake is people installing dual-filament bulbs 180° rotated.
Some crazy symptoms have been reported doing that.
After doing the above, and your Hazards still don’t work, you have a wiring problem occurring after the dark blue wire at the steering column connector.
Use a voltmeter or test light (the type for testing for voltage, not a continuity tester) trace to find where the power stops, and most likely the break will be under-hood.
The Backup Lights are a different circuit there we will address that after you fix the previous, or someone will chime in for those.
