I had a blow out on my left front tire the other day and now my tail lights will not work and my blinker and hazard fuses keep blowing. I need to know how to rewire my tail lights and find the short that keeps blowing my fuses?

Check the front left area for damage to wirings caused by the blowout. Here is a guide to help check the wiring with the tail light wiring diagrams below:

There is damage to wirings in the left front area, it knocked my left turn signal completely out and the wires from that are loose. Could that be causing my tail lights to not come on? I have hazard lights, brake lights, and reverse lights. Just no tail lights. Is there a manual on how to rewire my tail lights somewhere?

Yes, the wiring shorting at front will cause the fuse to blow resulting in no taillight.
