Can basically turn the hazards on, and check the green and yellow wires for power. ;-) at the tail itself... The green and yellow wires are what supply the power for turn signals and brake lights... If you have power at those wires... Try new bulbs... Just because

Oh. The green arrow indicators on the dash aren't working either? First time I read that, I thought they were still coming on...

So, if the gree. Arrows aren't coming on, then it very well could be one of the components under the dash... Or possibly fuse... Lol. What a bunch of fun eh!
TERIFIC FUN>>>>>> FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lose connection at the light!!!!!!!!!! Thank GOD!!!!!!!! You've been great, thank you. Now I have to figure out my ride height that was pointed out to me under mt aignment thread. Thanks again, Regards, Pete

You don't remove the wheels when you align a car....

Oh I get that... Just wondering what locking the brakes up will do to help during the alignment process... Guess I'm just not seeing it in my minds eye...

Fireball; It not the brakes that need to be locked. They lock the steering wheel in its straight position. The style fixture this shop uses pushes against the the pedal and attaches to the steering wheel. Some lock out fixtures push against the seat. It just keeps the wheel straight wile they do the alignment.

Happy fathers day!

Be well,
Pete
