I need help with the brake and turn signal lights on an 87 elke. Front signals work fine, and all park lights work. No brake or turn signals in the read. Bulbs are good, and the fuse looks good as well. Any ideas where to start?
PLease help, I am banging my head against a wall here Banghead

The signal from the brake light switch goes through the turn signal switch. I've seen the turn signal switch go bad causing the brake lights to not work.

Here is the schematic for the brake light circuit.

Trailer light hook ups were the problem. Someone didn't know wha tthey were doing. I have splices everywhere. I have them fixed now, but I am eventually going to have to rewire the back half of the car if not the whole thing.
Thanks for the advice
