My back break lights isnt working and front head lights are they both connected

If both are not working, check your brake light fuse and then bulbs for burnt filaments. If ok, could be wiring or brake light switch located at the back of the brake pedal. To eliminate the switch, if your car is equipped with cruise control, try to engage it and if it works, the switch is good, if not, switch is bad as the cruise control needs a good working brake switch to engage the cruise.

Mine has a bad connector in the blinker switch that is causing a short

For the brake lights....
Look under the dash, on the brake pedal arm. There are one or two switches that activate brakes lights and shift unlock. Check for loose mounting nut or a missing rubber nubber. Look on the floor for something not usually found there. These switches are adjustable and it may be as simple as adjusting them. Have a helper look for brake lights on and shift lever unlocked while you push and release the switches with your finger. Depress the brake pedal to get it out of the way. Remember to set the park brake first. Could just be a bad switch or loose connector. Check fuse #23 located on passenger side/end of dash(open the door) and the bulbs.

For the headlamps....
Check fuse #39 located on passenger side/end of dash(open the door), and check fuse #12 located in the power distribution box on the drivers side of the engine compartment. (you will have to remove the metal strap covering it first). Could also be the dash headlamp switch or even the dimmer switch.
Good luck!! and let me know what you find.
