If I remember right, there are separate circuits for the left and right sides in the power distribution module under the hood. I would check for hot spots and corrosion at the back side of the PDM.
Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome. Try checking your signal fuse and tail lamp fuse for the brake lights. They may have blown. If they are good, for the brake lights, you could have a bad brake switch, which is located right above your brake pedal. As for the turn signals, you could have a bad wire somewhere in the harness. Check closely at the bulb sockets. It is possible that you could have a loose wire at the signal switch or a bad wire.
You need to replace the turn signal switch. Very easy repair. I bought the replacement switch at Autozone and did it myself. The hubby kept putting it off.
Quite simply you need a new turn signal switch. There is a large amount of cross networking going on in that little switch. It has to cancell a brakelight to flash a turn signal. Generally you are applying the brake while you turn. There is absolutely no way to bypass or jump the switch, you'll drive yourself crazy trying to do so. Believe me I tried it back in the early 70's. Best of to get a new switch around $30 and have it installed.
The turn signal relay is a plugin thermal device if it has a solid 'click' when operating and most often located under the dashboard.
Not expensive and easy to replace with one from any chain auto parts store.
you need new signal switch assembly. unfortunately federal laws do not allow john q public to remove the steering wheels as the airbag has to be removed. Take it to the dealership or a reputable repair shop.
It sounds like your multifunction switch is faulty and will need to be replaced. The multifunction switch is a combination of your signal and wiper/washer switches all in one unit and is not servicable and is replaced as a whole unit .
At first that worked- now they've quit completely.
