78 Bronco brakelight/turn signal help.

[countryboytn]

Ok, so I'v been trying to figure this out for a couple days now and don't know where to go from here.. all the lights work except for brake lights and turn signals (no turn signals anywhere, not just on the back. Doesn't light up the turn signal indicators on the dash either)

It has new taillight bulbs, new turn signal flasher, fuse's are good, brake light switch is good, and I even went as far as sanding the contacts on the fuse panel(they where rusted), with no luck...

I crawled under it and looked for loose wires to, but I don't see any broken or hanging down except for one license plate light wire.

I'm completely out of ideas except for rewiring it, but I don't really wanna go that far until I see if there might be something I'v over looked. Any suggestions/help is appreciated, and if you need any more info about it let me know.

Have you tried using a MultiMeter or at least a test light to see if you're getting any power to the lights when you turn the switch on? That would be the next thing I'd do, and a simple test light is cheaper than the tester. If you have ashort in the circuit where a wire is grounding to the frame/ body, you'd likely be blowing fuses. That's a real common problem if you have any kind of trailer light harness spliced in. Your prblem may just be poor contacts inside the fuse block if it's rusty, JSM84
