Check for a blown fuse; look at the bulbs also as they may be blown

SOURCE: turn signals going crazy when I push on the brakes

OK, after more than a year of living with this problem, and replacing the turn signal switch (which did _not_ fix the problem), and checking every bulb and every fuse multiple times, I finally broke down and turned my mechanic loose on this problem. He knew right away that it was a grounding issue. He didn't know where, but he hooked up an aux ground to the negative post on the battery and the problem went away. That diagnosed it, the solution turned out to be more difficult as he had to disconnect most of the ground wires connected to the chassis, and wire brush all the spots and then reconnect them all before he finally figured out which it was that was causing the problem. I told him I'd take all those apart again and grease them and then put them back together so they're more permanently fixed. He had seen this issue before, multiple times on GM vehicles. Now I know about it too, and I'm sharing it to hopefully save somebody else some grief.

I have no signals and when brakes lights are on, lose brake light to either side turn signal is set on

Hi!!

If you activate the turn signal switch and you step on the brake pedal, the turn switch (on the steering column) deactivates the brake light to make the signal light more visible. The bulb for the stop and turn lights is the same.

Turn hazard lights ON. If they don't blink, replace turn/hazard flasher, If one or more lights don't come on, replace bulb.

Check fuse and circuit wiring for broken or loose connections. If all looks fine, check following:

If front turn lights work fine, check brake/turn bulbs.

If turn lights come on but don't blink, replace turn signal/hazard flasher.

If front and back turn lights don't come on, replace switch on column.

Let me know how it worked out, Good Luck

Brake Lights Confused

Make sure you have the right bulbs in the back. it sounds like a cross feed.If the problem isn't there then i'd say the turn signal switch is bad.
