Default Signal issues

Have a strange problem and I am looking for advice from the very knowledgeable forum members we have here.

My signals do not come on at all. You can hear it click but it does not do anything. Checked the fuses/flasher and replaced one side light. Also when I step on the brake the front parking lights light up as well as the brake lights. The interior turn signal lights (under the speedometer) light up as well when the brake is pressed.

I am afraid this is a wiring issue, any ideas?


thanks!!

Is this car new to you or has there been wiring or underdash work done recently? Has it previously worked correctly and just started doing this? Please give us a little more info.

Default Lost ground

Anytime you have the front turn signal/parking lights light up with the brake pedal, you will find that the rear brake lights have lost their ground connection.
