I doubt it. Usually you have one fuse for all 4 turn signals.
You might try the emergency flashers and see if they work that way.
The problem could be in the lamp socket or the turn signal switch.

SOURCE: Left rear brake light stopped working but bulb and fuses are OK.

These are Dual Function Bulbs. They control the Parking Lights and the Brake Lights. This Bulb is Burnt out on the Brake Coil inside the Bulb. I have actually seen Bulbs that were Bad But you could not Tell by jast looking at them. It should be fine with a New Bulb. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!

SOURCE: 1998 ford escort wagon brake lights out. bulbs and fuses changed.

have you tested the brake light switch? it is located at the top of the arm the brake pedal is attached to, it is very common for the wires to that switch to break inside the plastic insulation, the switch testing goes like this, there should be 12 volts present at both sides of the switch with the brake pedal depressed and one side without the pedal depressed.

SOURCE: rear brake light and turn signals out

Check your hazard switch and see if it's engaged. cycle the switch a few times and see if that fixes it. Dirt gets in the switch and sometimes causes what your concern is.I hope this helps.

On my 2002 chevy corvette the right rear turn signal wont work , changed bulbs still nothing no brake lights on that side either

id say left side ground is bad (rust)
car is plastic so grounds must good.
fuse checked first
see if scans show BCM errors
inspect socket for damage or rust
make sure the ground wire to it really is grounded
using the correct bulb # seen in the now lost users guide?
the guide is free in USA, if are.
it says stop tail turn is 3057
do that? and not LED upgrades okay,
again I only do USA cars. not exports to say UK or others.
RR, right rear is ground named G401 (same for stops)
the wire is black solid black
is center rear stop lamp dead too, it uses G401 too
LR side uses G101 ground
now the big clue not told
is park lamps dead. tool.
the whole rear of car lamps park and license and side markers all use G401 so if those work then ground is not bad.
question #2 are Hazards failing rear.. fuses must be good.
we check all fuses on cars with any kinds of electric failures.
but if fronts work
the hazard and all turns fuses are good and the flasher too,.
there is no REAR fuse, fronts and rears 2 fuses
fuse HAZt/SG-#15
STP-HAZ #8

THAT IS ALL I COVERED IT ALL
THE TESTS ABOVE PROVE THE PUDDING
WHAT ALL OTHER LAMPS DO MATTER. HUGE HERE.
  • STOPS
  • TURNS
  • PARK
  • HAZ MODE.
  • EVEN REVERE USED G401 TOO
MY GUESS
WRONG LAMP ,CORRECT IS 3057 TURNS
GROUND JUST TO DEAD LAMP CUT BUT NOT OTHERS.
SOCKET TOO LAMP BAD (RUSTY CONTACTS)
A VOLTMETER FINDS IT.

Rear tail lights running lights not working on my 2003 Buick Park Avenue

Check the wire grounds where the lens connect to the vehicle. With a test light check to make sure current is arriving at the bulbs. If not, then follow the wires back to the light switches.

2011 Kia Sorento passenger side brake lights not working

Light bulbs require power and ground in order to work. The ground circuit for the left rear combination lamp is shared between the turn lamp, stop lamp and tail lamp. Because the tail light still works in that specific combination lamp, we know that the shared/common ground for that assembly is OK. The power circuit for both stop lamps (left and right) have the same origin; voltage flows from the STOP LP FUSE (15A) through the DBC RELAY (when the stop lamp switch is pressed) and then to each stop lamp via their respective circuit branches. Because the right stop lamp works, we know that the shared/common fuse, relay and switch are all OK. I'd suspect an open in the left stop lamp power supply branch and would recommending checking for voltage on the green & black wire at the left rear combination lamp assembly to confirm. Regarding the left lamp on the hatch, the wiring diagram indicates these are not stop lamps rather tail lamps only. I'd recommend installing a tail lamp bulb instead of a brake light bulb into that assembly as a first step.

08 Buick lucerne cxl. Third brake light works as well as front signal lights. No rear brake lights or turn signals. Tail lights and headlights and third brake lights works. Bulbs good. Help

Stop Lamps
The brake pedal position sensor is used to sense the action of the driver application of the brake pedal. The body control module (BCM) provides a 5-volt reference voltage and low reference to the brake pedal position sensor. The position sensor provides an analog voltage signal back to the BCM that will increase as the brake pedal is applied. When the brake is applied, the BCM will then apply battery voltage to the left and right stop/turn signal lamp supply voltage circuits and the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL) supply voltage circuit illuminating the stop lamps. At the same time the BCM applies battery voltage through the signal circuit to the transmission control module (TCM) and the engine control module (ECM) indicating that the brakes are applied.
Ground for the stop lamps is supplied as follows:
• G402 provides ground for the left rear stop/tail/turn signal lamps
• G403 provides ground for the right rear stop/tail/turn signal lamps
• G301 provides ground for the CHMSL
The stop lamps on this vehicle will not illuminate unless the ignition is in the accessory, run, or crank positions. When the ignition is in the OFF position the stop lamps will not illuminate when the brake pedal is applied.
Battery voltage from the LT TRN/SIG and RT TRN/SIG fuses located in the rear fuse block is also used by the body control module (BCM) for stop lamp operation.

Turn Signal Lamps
Battery voltage supplied to the body control module (BCM) from the fuses listed below is used for turn signal and hazard lamp operation.
• LT TRN/SIG fuse for the left turn signals
• CTSY/RF TRN fuse for the right front turn signal
• RR TRN/SIG fuse for the right rear turn signal
When the turn signal switch is place in either the LEFT or RIGHT position, ground from G300 is applied through the turn signal switch signal circuit to the BCM indicating the turn signal request. In response to this signal, the BCM applies a pulsating voltage to the front and rear turn signal lamps supply voltage circuits cycling the lamps ON and OFF. At the same time the BCM sends a GMLAN serial data message to the instrument panel cluster (IPC) to cycle the appropriate turn signal indicator ON and OFF.
Ground for the turn signal lamps is supplied as follows:
• G104 provides ground for the left and right front turn signal lamps
• G402 provides ground for the left rear stop/tail/turn signal lamps
• G403 provides ground for the right rear stop/tail/turn signal lamps

Brake lights 2001 Oldsmobile aurora

Did you check STOP LP fuse 15amp. in the rear fuse block ? Do you know where this is. Fuse Block - Rear Under the rear seat, on the left side of the floor pan.
The STOP LP fuse in the fuse block - rear supplies battery positive voltage to the normally open stop lamp switch. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the switch contacts close. The battery positive voltage flows to the left stop lamp assemblies, to the right stop lamp assemblies and to the center high mounted stop lamp (CHMSL). The left stop lamp and the CHMSL have ground at G402. The right stop lamp has ground at G401.
Did you check for power at the stop lamp switch ? both in an out of the switch with brake pedal pressed ?

2003 GMC ENVOY BRAKES LIGHTS WILL NOT COME ON DID SWITCH THE BULBS

{: ) Check out the ST/LP fuse(25amp) at the underhood fuseblock. Also the VEH STOP (15amp) and VEH CHMSL (10amp) fuses at the fuseblock rear. If the center high mounted stop lamp is also not working, and you can't get any 12volts on either stoplamp bulb sockets, then most likely causes are the fuse, stoplamp switch on the brake pedal, and a faulty wiring.
If the center stop lamp is working and both sides are not, then the trouble can be isolated on the wirings or terminals of the two bulbs on the sides.
Wish you luck.

Turn signal relay keeps clicking (same sound as when turn signals are on) even when I am not signalling to turn. I checked, all bulbs/signals work properly. But the sound is annoying. I replaced the relay,...

it may not be that relay. if this happens when the vehicle is idling. look under the dash at the fuse panel. put your finger on each relay. you will feel it if it's the one that is clicking. replay the offending relay.

You may have some wiring 'grounding' problems in the areas of concern. Remove each connection, and clean any rust. Place a light film of grease and a fresh star washer next to ground point, then the wire connector and other washers. Tighten firmly. Check the lamp sockets for any corrosion and replace same if found. The front lamp flashes rapidly because the rear light not working causes the flasher unit to switch faster.

Fuse problems on hyundia lantra 1999

are the rear lights combined? ie sidelamp and brake lamp in one bulb .if so, there is a possibility that the bulb is not sitting correctly in the holder , causing both the side & brake lamp fuses to blow . if they are seperate bulbs you probably have ashort in the sidelamp system somewhere but the brakes could be a switch problem [easy check, find switch ,disconnect wires short across using wire or paperclip switch on ignition and check lights ] if they work the switch is the problem , [check fuse first] if they don't
