Rear Turn Signals, Hazards and Brake Lights not working....

Most hazards flash brake lights not the turn signals, double check your signal bulbs. Try to get it to flas fast and visually inspect which bulb isn't working. Then replace that bulb

Front right and rear right are on a different circuit than the left front an left rear. Locate the Flasher control module behind dash. With key in RUN position check for pulsing battery voltage on the Green/white wire coming out of the flasher control module electrical connector. If no battery voltage, check for battery voltage coming into the flasher from the turn signal switch on the white/red wire. Left turn input is on the white/black wire. If not battery voltage on white/red, but voltage on white/black when turning left, then the turn signal switch is bad

The 98 Escort is actually a Mazda 323 with Ford trim. It uses a solid state flasher relay for both turn signals and hazard lights.
The relay is behind the speedometer. My guess is the relay has died.
You can look it up online or check with your local auto parts store to get a visual.

may have a broken connection in the socket where the bulb goes

IF THE TURN SIGNALS STILL WORK IN THE FRONT, THAT MEANS THE FUSE & THE FLASHER ARE OK. IF THE SIGNALS DON'T WORK AT ALL CHECK TURN SIGNAL FUSE & STOP / BRAKE FUSE. ARE YOU SURE THE CORRECT BULBS ARE BEING USED?

you have a lamp that is out or you have a bad flasher there are two of them one for your hazards and one for the turn signals

Possible cause is the connector is disconnected and the bumper area. Main ground wire may be loose, check manual for ground location. Also the wiring loom may have been damaged between the rear lights and the front connector. The front lights will blink fast when the rear lights do not work. There could also be a problem with the turn signal switch. Check with the wiring schematics to see which wires to check for power.
