I have replaced The Tail Light Bulbs,brake switch Under the dash ( the One that when pedal Goes Down closes the circuit for brake Lights to come on),checked Fuses and Most recently replaced the Turn signal switch Inside the steering Column and still I Have No Brake Lights or hazard Lights?? where exactly would the Ground be Located for this Kind of wiring? I Have tried Running a Ground at the Back where The Brake Lights are,from the wires directly to the Frame and Nothing?? am Not sure where to try next??Tail Lights work and drivers Blinker,but passenger side Blinker will only Light Up in Back but not Blink unless Done manual with lever,front dont Light up at all,Not even parking Light? any suggestions??

TEST FRONT RIGHT BLINKER CIRCUIT AND REPLACE THE BULB,,WITH PROPER BULB...A DOUBLE CIRCUIT BULB IN A SINGLE SOCKET WILL DO THAT ALSO A SINGLE SOCKET BULB IN A DOUBLE SOCKET HOLDER....CHECK LEFT SIDE BULB FOR ACURANCY

First make sure that the bulbs are not burnt out. Then are the tail lights not working or the rear brake lights? Tail lights are on a different circuit than the brakes. Check for bad fuses or the multifunction switch in the steering column. Do the 4 way flashers work? If so then the bulbs and wiring are good. If still no brake lights, then check the brake light switch under the dash above the brake pedal.
Yes, if your turn signals in the back use the same filaments as the brakes, the multi-switch must allow the brake signal through when the turn signals are not activated. There are multiple diagrams for your system, so I'm not sure what you have. If you have the light blue wire that goes from the brake switch ul the column to the turn switch, make sure it is getting power when the pedal is pressed. It should go thru the switch as shown in the second diagram below.
check for power at the wires going intop the tail lights, real common that the circuit board is bad, but unlikely both at the same time. The tag, tail lights and brakes are 2 different systems. Do the turn signals work normally? if so the wiring from the turn signal switch to the brake lights is GOOD. the stop light switch had\s a ORANGE wire that should have 12V if not ck STOP LPS fuse, when brake pedal is depressed, the WHITE wire is 12V (at the stop light switch) if that is OK, the turn signal switch COULD be bad. The wiring harness plug is near the back left under the tailgate, see if that is disconnected?
Check the brake light switch located on the brake pedal arm under the dash. It could be stuck, loose, or needs to be replaced. Also, check for a brake light relay. Could also be a loose ground wire in the trunk close to the tail lights.
well u have two seprate problems the hazards and turn signals have a flasher that needs replacing if the fuse is good on the fuse box marked signals .and there is a brake light switch under the dash board near the brake pedal it has two wires on it check the wires make sure they are connected if so replace the brake light switch
I could not tell you how many times people have brought their cars into my shop and tell me that they had already checked all fues and they are OK, then I check the car and find a blown fuse or a fuse that is completely missing.
Your dash (Instrument Cluster) illumination lights are powered by the "PARK LP" fuse in the underhood fuse panel - it is fuse number 37 and should be a 20 Amp fuse. If this fuse is blown, your Park lights on the exterior of the car will also not be working. If they are working and your dash lights are not, then the problem is probably in your headlamp switch.
Your Brake lights are powered by the "STOP LAMP" fuse in the instrument panel (IP) fuse block it is a 15 Amp fuse.
Your Hazzard lights are powered by the "HAZZARD" fuse in the (IP) also a 15 Ap fuse.
If both of these fuses are good, then the most likely problem with your brake and hazzard lamps is the multifunction (Turn Signal) switch.
What any of the above has to do with replacing your window regulators remains a mystery.
There is brake light switch located under the dash. It is inserted in a metal bracket that is a part of the brake pedal assembly. When you depress the brake pedal the pedal arm moves away from the brake switch allowing a spring loaded plunger to move out of the switch. As the plunger moves out of the switch a set of contacts close in the switch and turn the brake lights on.
You stated the 10amp under hood brake light fuse is good so check to see if you have power on the "orange" wire at the brake switch with pedal all the way up. Then press the pedal down and you should have power on the " light blue" wire going out of the switch.
We will start there, let me know what you find.
Regards,
Probably either a bad ground (broken wire, rust) or a bad headlight switch. The brake light circuit goes from the stop switch (Located up above the brake pedal) through the headlight switch, through the light bulbs to ground. The tail light circuit goes through the headlight switch, through the bulbs and to ground. The only things that are in common are the headlight switch (Is this the switch you replaced?) and ground. Not much, but hope this helps. Have a super day! Ron
