No brake lights no turn signals no 4 way flashers
As it says, suddenly I have no turning signals, brake lights or 4 way flashers, not even the sounds of the clicking for the lights. I hear no relay or anything. Headlights and tail lights work great though. Any ideas and where do I look to do anything to fix it? It is a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 WS 6 cylinder.

Here's the issue: The brake lights by themselves get power from fuse 5 in the PDC. The CHMSL is spliced in before the multifunction switch, if you don't even have that working double check fuse 5. Not visually but with a voltmeter/test light. The turn signals on the other hand get power via fuse 4 in the PDC (the rear brake/turn signal lamps get powered by different fuses depending on braking or turn signals) and the 4 way flasher should work regardless of any possible issues with the ignition switch or fuse 5/brake light switch or similar.
You may have a double fault, two fuses or a fuse and the mf switch, or fuse 4 and the bulbs in the CHMSL. As already suggested, start with troubleshooting the brake lights: Power on the white/tan wire at the brake light switch when depressed, same white/tan wire ends at pin 14 at the mf switch. Should come out on pin 12 (brown/red) and pin 15 (dark green/red).
