Hazard lights malfunction

Turn signals work fine, all park lights, headlights, taillights, brake lights function properly, but when I depress the hazard switch, the hazards don't flash, and if I step on the brake pedal while the hazard switch is depressed, the front and rear hazard/turn signal lights act like brake lights. I have replaced flasher unit and fuse, same results.

SOURCE: Left turn signal stops flashing when brake pedal is depressed.

there is a ground problem, most likely in the tail unit itself, but a ground problem is hard to find and easy to fix. reground the system, the turning unit, and the problem should stop. About the hazards, I don't know...... some times in older cars, that is the way it works. because the brake and hazard element in the bulb is the same and the old cars used a break in the power, but the new cars use a break in the ground. any way, chase the ground down first, it is usually the cause.

Why does my turn signal light not work but brake and tail lights work fine

There are a few possible reasons why your turn signal light is not working while your brake and tail lights are functioning properly:
  1. Blown fuse: The turn signal lights are connected to a different fuse than the brake and tail lights. The fuse for the turn signals may have blown and needs to be replaced.
  2. Turn signal switch: The turn signal switch, located on the steering column, could be malfunctioning and needs to be replaced.
  3. Wiring issue: A wiring issue, such as a broken wire or loose connection, could be preventing power from reaching the turn signal lights.
  4. Flasher relay: The flasher relay is responsible for controlling the turn signal lights. A faulty flasher relay could be preventing the turn signals from working.
  5. Signal/light module: Some cars have a signal/light module that controls the turn signals, this could be faulty and need to be replaced.

On my 2010 crown vic I have headlights but no tail lights. I do have brake lights and turn signals.

If your 2010 Crown Victoria has functioning headlights, brake lights, and turn signals but no tail lights, the issue could be with the tail light circuit or with a specific component in the tail light assembly.
Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
  • Check the tail light fuses. Make sure that the tail light fuses are not blown. Check the vehicle's owner manual for the location of the fuses.
  • Check the tail light bulbs. Make sure that the tail light bulbs are working properly, if not replace them.
  • Check the wiring. Make sure that the wiring for the tail lights is connected properly and that there are no frayed wires or broken connections.
  • Check the brake light switch. The brake light switch is responsible for turning on the brake lights when the brake pedal is depressed. Make sure the brake light switch is working properly.
  • Check the turn signal switch. Make sure the turn signal switch is working properly, and properly wired to the tail lights.
If the problem persist after trying the above solutions, It would be best to consult a professional mechanic or an auto electrical technician to diagnose the issue, as it could be a malfunction in one of the electronic module that control the lighting. It's a good idea to take the vehicle to a dealership or repair shop that specializes in Ford vehicles. They will have access to the wiring diagrams and repair information needed to correctly diagnose and repair the issue with the tail lights.

1994 Pontiac Grand am Tailights all work normaly except when the headlights are on and then they don't work at all?

Could be the headlight switch.
The switch has two sets of contacts for the parking lights, the park position and headlight position.
You may need to check the circuit at the switch to see if you are loosing power when the switch is moved from park to head.

1999 2500 chevy suburban parking lights, dash and taillights will not turn on but headlights and turn signals still work.. I have checked fuses and found nothing wrong??? could it be the head lamp...

The tail lights run through the headlight switch, they also run through the combination switch(turn signals) that is a known issue for those trucks try messing with the hazard light switch and see if the start functioning, also if you have a tow package the lights have seconday fuses and relay in the electrical box under the hood
