Default No brake lights or turn lights

I have a 95 dodge dakota sport that I have reserected from the dead it's been sitting up for 3 year I have finally got it running but I have a problem I don't have the owners manual and my brake lights and turn light are not working.. It may be a fuse but I don't have the diagram for the fuse panel or it could be something else I'm not sure I have replaced all of the bulbs on the vehicle.. Can someone please advise...

Look through the FAQ for tons of great info on most of the Dakota's common problems.

About halfway down that thread is pics of the fuse box/locations.

Good luck!

i was having problems with my rear lights. found out that the back up light socket the ground was broken off under the black boot that is on it and the signal and back up light harness, where it plugs into the socket on the frame it was pushed on too far, pulled it out a bit and it worked fine, afterwards

Some fuses are under the hood on the driver's side, I assume you checked them to be sure there were no empty spaces. If they are all ther check under the dash for the emergency flasher unit, see if there is power on one terminal if so, hold the brake petal down and see if there is power on both terminals. If note there is a fuse or wire distribution concern. Let us know what your results are, and we will try to assess and advise what the next things to try are. I have a set of wiring diagrams for the 94 Dakota, but they're not handy now.
