Ok so I have read the post on the gauge clusters not working and how to fix that.

I have a problem that I don't think is related to that but may be I am not sure.

My blinkers and brake lights are not working. (car has sat for 1 1/2 years)

The hazards work, bulbs are all fine, and fuse's are good.


Any body have an idea of what would cause this and my steps to fix it????

 

maybe the wires are bad!

 

try swaping the signal switch in the colum

 

I did get a new signal switch from the junk yard the other day but now they signals and brake lights are working fine.

I pulled the fuses and put them back in and changed the battery. I don't know what happen but it works

 

good uynder the hood and find the big fuse it one of the big ones i had the same problem check all of tho

 

Ok I did check a couple of those fuses and if I remember right they wheren't blown.

Are you talking the fuses under the hood that look regular or the big black box fuses?

 

If the car has sat for 1 1/2 years, most likely the fuse connectors have gotten a little loose and/or corroded from sitting so long with no juice. Pulling them may have removed enough corrosion to allow a good connection again. You may want to pull all of them one and one and give them a little sandpaper TLC. That or just use a pencil eraser. The old Volkswagons use to have this problem a lot - even when using them. Just pull,clean, insert and drive off.
