1998 Lincoln Town Car: No turn signals, 4 way flash, brake lights

These things don't work with engine running:

1. Turn signals lights and no clicking in car
2. 4 way flashers lights no clicking in car
3. Brake lights on the tail lights (The middle light at the bottom of the rear window lights up when the brake is depressed.)
4. The turn signals were intermittently working before this problem showed up like a few weeks before the problem. I can't remember exactly what it was but the turn signal clicking in the car was slow or fast or different someway. I assumed I had a bad turn signal light.

These things do work:
1. head lights, tail lights, parking lights
2. All auxillary stuff in the car

What I have looked at:
1. Checked all the fuses, visually pulled them all, under dash and under the hood
2. Cleaned the battery posts
3. Wiggled the turn signal switch around

Is there anyway to get a wiring schematic of this car for free?
Your help would be wonderful. I would like to get today back to do something. Thanks, Bill

If only your brake light in middle of rear window works then your other bulbs are bad. If brake lights all work in the back than bulbs are good. If you put turn signal on right or left and the bulbs light in front and back then you need to change multifunction light control box under dash. My understanding is it cost $600 new. So I would try used.

1998 Lincoln Town Car Signature. Parked it and now will not come out of park, and brake lights do not light up. Running lights, turn signals, hazards all work.

you have to press the brake pedal for your car to shift from park.what this does is actuate a solenoid on your steering column with the same electrical signal that lights your brake lights. since you have no brake lights either, all you have to do is replace the brake light fuse and you should be back in buisness.

1998 Lincoln Town Car ONLY CENTER BRAKE LIGHT IN REAR WINDOW WORKING. I'VE CHANGE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. STILL NO LEFT OR RIGHT BRAKE LIGHT.

If the hight mount brake light is working , then your switches , fuses , relays , are OK . Most likely problem is that the bulbs themselves are burnt out , or there is a broken or loose wire.

1998 Lincoln TC no brake or hazard lights work.

Hazard light switch... They all intermingle in operation.
My ex wifes 96TC was doing the same thing... I could OCCASIONALLY get the hazards to work by turning the hazard switch on/off like 10 times in a row and suddenly it would fix... finally bought a new switch
