I got the 2004 Pontiac Aztek a while back. I love the car, and it is a lot of fun to drive. And it gets a lot of attention. But I am having some major issues with it. 1) The first problem is the driver side break light. It works sometimes, and other times it does not work. I have changed the bulb many times, but that is not the issue. 2) Also, the turn signals are becoming a major issue. When I turn the passenger side turn signal on, they both flash. Yet, the driver side works fine. These issues only occur sometimes, but will work other times. 3) The other issue is my gas level meter. It seems not know where my gas level is for some odd reason. It will at times bounce past the "F", yet it will work every now and again (not very often though). I had a piece changed for this problem, but it did not fix it. I know it has to be electrical for all of these issues, and I really need help to have an idea of what to tell the people i am taking it to, to get fixed. The main thing is the turn signals. That HAS to be fixed. I have heard from another site that it could be the electrical system is not grounded since it works sometimes and not other times. What could this be!

That's exactly what your problem sounds like......You have a bad ground in your system.
It sounds like you are looking for some info when you take it in and aren't diagnosing this yourself if I read your post correctly...
You actually described the problem quite well. You just need to find a shop that does this type of electrical work. Look in the yellow pages under Automotive electrical. If you have a shop you use regularly but they don't do this type of work, I'm sure there is shop they can recommend you to...........
Once you find the right shop, you won't have to tell them anymore than you did here.......If you do have to explain more about ground problems to them..... Then you're not at the right shop...
