No Brake lights/ Hazards/ blinkers

I just picked up an '87 FC and the brake lights/hazards/blinkers dont work, the tail lights/headlights/corners do work though. I was thinking it could be the hazard switch but didnt think that would effect the brake lights, so I wanted to get some opinions before I start buying parts I don't need.

Thanks in advance!

Sounds like you might have an issue with the CPU. There's some handy dandy ways of testing it in the FSM located @ http://www.teamfc3s.org/main/factory...ual/1986_1988/.

Oh, and obviously check your fuses first.

Hehe, first thing I did was check fuses, and thank you for the link, you're the second person to tell me the CPU so I will be gunning for that first. I appreciate your help!

The flashers and brake lights go through it according to the wiring diagram so it seems like a centralized point of failure for your issue.
