I have a 1996 Ecoline van "Shasta" motorhome. My problem is that the Hazard lights,turn signals,cruise control,and brake lights do not work,all of a sudden. I check all the apropriate fuses and they a

I know the fuse block has continuous power due to the hazards having to work when the vehicle is off. Check that and it's good. Haven't done any recent work to cause any loose or cut wires. Like I said the brake lights don't even work. I have seen a couple posts that refer to the flasher relay itself but how would that affect the brake lights??

Some vehicles, especially vehicles that use the same lights for brake and turn signal, the brake lights must go through the turn signal switch. If your cruise is on the same switch, I would check your connection under the steering column. If you tilt the column up to get out of the vehicle, you may have unplugged the harness or broken the wires at the tilt point.

SOURCE: 1991 Ford E150 turn signals do not work,emergancy flashers flash constantlly unless the flasher relay is unplugged from fuse block

Hi,

If I understand you right based on your post/description, the signal lights would still turn on even if any or both of the flasher relays are removed. Should this be the case, then the signal lights are not getting the power from the flasher relays but from the brake light circuit.

Perhaps your concern is not with any of the flasher, but simply missing or loose ground more particularly with the rear lights. Perhaps you could try determining which of the wires for the brake lights and signal lights (as they come out of the light assembly) would be ground . A test and even possibly a temporary workaround is to hard wire a second ground connection from the determined ground wire of the lights and attach it to any conveniently located bolt or screw to the body. it may be to your advantage to do this on all the rear lights assembly.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards. Thank you for using FixYa.

SOURCE: brake and turn signal lights stopped working on my 1996 Ford E150

You might have cut a wire or it could have broken or disconnected. Try tracing the wiring where you hooked up the trailer you may find one broken or disconnected.

SOURCE: 96 Ford Taurus no turn signals or hazards

Take the turn signal lever and jiggle it, a lot. If they start working, the switch is bad. You can also turn on the hazards and take hold of the button and push it left , right , forward and back and see if they start working. If so, replace the turn signal/ hazard switch.

SOURCE: Where is the turn signal relay, hazard relay, and

It is not the flasher if the hazards work, it is 1 flasher for both turn signals and the hazard lamps. It is in a relay block ( along with the blower motor relay ) under the dash, about in line with the steering wheel column ).

Try tilting the steering wheel all the way up, and test again.

The other quick test is to cycle the hazard switch a few times, to see if it cleans the contacts for the turn signal on the MFS,

The voltage is supplied at all times through the STOP HAZ Fuse 1 to the TCC brake and cruise control release switch. The contacts in the TCC brake and cruise control release switch close when the brake pedal is depressed. The voltage is supplied through the hazard switch and the turn signal switch to the left and right stoplamps. The stoplamp will flash as a turn signal lamp if the turn signal switch is on. The stoplamp on the opposite side will serve as a stoplamp.

2005 Silverado brake lights on tail not working, cruise out , bulbs and fuses ok

Brake light switch? The cruise and brake lights problems are likely related. The cruise control cuts out when you press on the brakes. I had a van where the cruse wouldn't engage. Then someone pointed out my brake lights were always on. It was the switch.

2005 chevy trailblazer - no cruise control and brake lights only work when key is turned off

I would check the turn signal switch. The cruise and turn signal are on the same switch. The brake lights go through the switch before going to the brake lights. And the turn signals don't work with the ignition off.

Rear brake lights not working on 1998 Chevy Lumina

Well usually when the third brake light works and the others don't, the problem is in the turn signal switch. The center brake light is separate from the other two as far as circuits go.
The thing that puzzles me is the cruise. It could be something else, because the only way a faulty brake light switch would kill the cruise control is if the switch was stuck on.
I think I would check the circuits in and out of the turn signal switch.

Rear brakelights and turn signals do not work

The turn signal and brake lights are controlled by the turn signal switch.
You did not mention parking lights so I will assume they work.

Could be a faulty turn signal switch or a wiring problem between the dash and the rear of the van.
Do the hazard flashers work on all four corners ?

No brake lights-the turn signal, four way flashers work. The cruise control cancels when applying brakes. ?

Cruise control is suppose to cancel when brakes are applied.

Did you try just changing the bulbs?

If its not the bulbs I would have to say check the brake light switch at the pedal, it is a different switch than the cruise control cut out switch.
