Changed multi function switch, bulbs, and passenger side rear light assembly (reverse, blinker, brake light). Everything works except the rear passenger side turn signal but the front passenger side is blinking fast. What is the problem?

You have a bad connection at the rear passenger side turn signal. It is either the connection is corroded or a wire is loose on the ground side of the circuit.

I have a 1990 Chevy Suburban v1500. All lights work except for the Brake Lights and Turn Signals. The Blinker switch on steering column is broken, other than that everything is fine.

Yes, the brake light signal on American cars is routed through the turn signal switch. A new switch should restore both your turns and your brake lights.
American cars use the same bulb filament and same wire to the rears for both brakes and turns. Press the brakes when turning and both rear brakes will light, but since one side travels through the flasher relay, that side will blink, while the other side has a steady light.

Rear driver turn signal does not work, now neither does the driver front turn signal. no passenger brake llight. bulbs replaced, sockets replaced, lens assembly replaced. everything works when pluged...

The problem has to be in the multi function stalk if all of those parts were replaced correctly. This is the actual turn signal switch on the steering column.

2006 dodge ram left rear turn does not work, changed bulbs, changed sockets, left front flashes fast, would it be multi function switch in steering column?

If the front one is flashing, then it is not a multi function switch problem. We see lots of wiring issues due to water intrusion and corrosion so you need to follow the wiring to the front and check all the connectors along the way. We also see lots of TIPM problems, which is the large underhood fuse box and this is where the power for the light comes from.

Brake lights do not work,, rear blinkers out. Front blinkers are fast and i've already changed the bulbs and multi-function switch.

check the electrical plugs under the bed,very back just behind the bumper should be a three way plug, make sure there not loose or disconnected.

2007 Pontiac Grand Prix - Tail light troubles - HELP?

Probably a broken ground wire. Check it with a test light. Make sure you have a good ground, and then stick the test light right in the socket to see if there is power. If there is power to the test light, but still none to the bulb, it's a ground wire. If there is no power, its a power wire. Just keep poking the wires, and work your way back until you find some power. Make sure you have the lights on when you're checking. Good luck.

1998 chevy lumina brake lights intermittent.

This is a classic example of turn signal switch failure. On GM vehicles with a multi-function turn signal switch and combination stop/turn/tail lights (all rear lights are behind red colored lenses except for back-up lights) The brake light power is routed through the turn signal switch. This makes it possible for the right rear light to function as a stop light while the left rear turn signal flashes, and vice-versa. When the contacts fail to remain constant the brake lights, and turn signals can become intermittent. The proof that the brake light switch is functioning correctly is that the high center (cyclops) brake light functions properly. Wiring integrity is verified if you can prove that turn signals operate, but that can still be intermittent with this complaint, BUT if you use your hazard switch to turn on all the signals at once, you can verify wiring integrity. This is because the turn signal, and the brake light use the same circuit, and bulb filament in the rear lighting assembly. If any Hazard lights fail to function, check bulbs first, then retest. If all Hazrd light flash correctly and reliably, bulbs, sockets, and wiring have proven integrity, and the turn signal switch is the remaining component in the system which needs to be tested. Unfortunately, this switch requires disassembly of the steering column for service, testing or replacement. If you have never disassembled, and successfully reassembled a GM tilt steering column, I would reccommend professional assistance.
