I see I'm missing the hazard switch on the fuse panel wonder if that effects that? Just glad brake lamp issue is done with.woohoo! After hours of wiring tracing  |
So the brake lamps are working now but no turn signals or hazards even with
both flashers? Either flasher will work in either position, I seem to recall that the hazard flasher was a heavier duty because it carried the amperage for four lights instead of two. Maybe not I'm not sure.

The hazard lights are powered by a brown wire in the harness from the fuse panel to the crescent connector on the column. It is next to the turn signal power wire from the TS flasher in the fuse panel. The first thing to determine is if there is power on these two wires with the key switch on. If the hazards work then the brown wire must have power. If there is no voltage on the purple wire then the turn signals are not going to work.
The contacts in the turn signal switch use the same wires for the turn lamps as they do for the hazards so I suspect there is no power on them for the signals, AKA purple wire.
The power for these wires has to go through the flashers. Before I forget the brown hazard wire should have power constant with or without the key on. Have you switched the flashers?
