Default Electrical issue!

I am having a electrical problem. My fog lights,tail lights,and turn signals aren't working. My brake lights work but the rear lights don't come on when I turn on my lights. Has anyone had this problem?

Check Fuse #6 in in the fuse box in the passenger foot well first.

Does your Emergency signals work ?
Reason I ask is I recall reading some where here that a faulty Em.Signal switch can cause other lights etc, etc to go wacky

I will check tonight when I get home, but I don't think that they are working.

Again, If memory serves me correctly, brake lights, turn signals and something else all run through and or, are directly connected through the Hazard Switch.

Hazard switch first least expensive. Then Multifuction switch (turn signal stalk) more expensive

Try exercising the hazard switch, push it on and off 10 times. See if it helps.
