Default brake lights and turn signals

My brake lights and turn signals go out at the same time intermittently. Seems like it is when I hit a rough spot in the road indicating a loose wire or connection. No other problems with the electical. Is there a specific connector/ground I can go to to check??

Sounds like a multifunction switch issue. I had the same problem. Turns out I had to swap out my turn signal lever for a new one.

Below is a process for trying to fix the one in the car. I tried this and it worked for a little but eventually I had to bite the bullet and buy a new one.

Check the wire harness bundle right below the steering column. I thought mine was the multifunctin switch, but it wasn't. Loose connections in the bundle below the steering column.
