OK plain and simple when I hit the brakes, the turn signals glow, and thats it. But the turn signals do work when used including 4 ways.. WTF???!!!@## If it wasnt for this, I really could sneak my car on the road by thursday (payday). If I did that then I still cant drive... blah Help with anything, you guys and girls are all cool.

Sounds like a bad ground in the back.

Ok well I found out what happens and where theres a bad wire. The brake lights actually come one when you hit the brakes plus signal lights. When you turn on the lights theres a whole new story, they dont work at all. I tore almost the whole dash apart in the dark and found that the pink and blue wire that connects to the headlight switch looks like it has its shirt unbuttoned(melted the plastic). So now I have to chase that bitch around and find out where else the problem lies. I found about 3 blown fuses, 2 of witch worked before I really messed with it including clock... Any tips, ideas?..
