    Looking for some direction in repairing my turn signals and brake lights. (1) My turn signals donot blink when l turn them on, the lights come on but no blinking. (2) The brake light go out when the turn signal comes on. (3) All of my lights except for two front marker lights are working. (4) I have 4 wires that are connected at the signal camber, a red, a light green, a light blue and a green with a black stripe. The green with the black stripe is going to the emergency flashers, the light blue and light green go to turn signal camber and obviously the red should be the hot wire. Can all the wires be branched together or should there be separate hot wire to each of the wires. Presently they are are all branched together. Is there a switch that activates the brake lights and where would it be located. A wiring diagram would be ideal. Sorry for the length trying to get all the details in. Thanks

    How does it tie in with the turn signal wiring?

    they run on the same circuit. Also correct me if i am wrong when turn signal cam is bad it will kill your brake lights as well.

    If the lights come on but do not blink I would start at the flasher but it does also seem like you have switch issues.
