    Another "why doesn't my brake lights and turn signal/hazard lights work" question

    I have seen as many responses to this age old Corvette question but I have tried everything with no good results. I have a restored 1972 Corvette and all of the wiring has been replaced with complete harnesses from Lectric Limited. I have Headlights and taillights working, the factory alarm is hooked up and it works perfectly. My issue is that the other lights do not work. I have replaced the brake light switch, I have replaced the Turn Signal Switch - the horn works, even the Key buzzer works but no brake lights or turn signals/flashers. I have tried to trouble shoot the system but I am out of ideas

    Please help!!!!!

    Check your hazard flasher switch.

      Thanks. Do you mean the turn signal switch? or the actual flashers? is there a difference between turn signal flashers and hazard flashers?

        Ok, replaced the switch and the fuses and now the turn signals work perfectly, but the hazards come on but don't blink - any idea what causes that?

          Check the hazard flasher. I believe it is in the jack compartment.

            Actually the Hazard Flkasher is in the fuse box by the hood release.
            The flasher int he jack compartment is for the alarm system (ISE)

                  I should have said the Hazzard Flasher is in the fuse panel by the hood release. There is no fuse box.

                    Problem solved by going out and getting a #536 flasher, which was not easy to get, and it worked. Thanks for all the recommendations.
