Ok, guys I'm stumped. Got a 73 fj40, driver rear tail light, running light work, hazard light works but no turn or brake light. For the life cannot figure out which wires control these two functions, or what might the issue be.

73 is just a single red assembly, the bulb is good because when I activate the hazards the second element in the bulb illuminates. It's just two wire out of the assembly one for running light, one for stop and turn. I'm having a difficult time identifying the stop and turn wires coming from the other sideI forget on a ‘73…do you have an orange turn signals or no?
If no…sounds like a bulb to me. Check the bulb and also see if you have 12v where you install the bulb. Use a test light…if you don’t have one, go buy one. About $15 & it will be a big help to you.
Aren't the hazard and turn the same bulb? Or are the hazard, turn and stop all the same bulb. Just wondering if it's in your turn signal switch, but if that was the case the front blinker on same side would be an issue. I don't remember the schematic on those. Does the hazard go through both flashers or just one. Get a test light. Start working back from the lightvand follow the schematic.

Most certainly on a '76, there is one flasher unit, so it is switched. But, the brake lights don't operate, either, and the ground is a common component for both the non-operational brakes, and turn. The hazard switch directs power from the usual 'Turn'-fuse slot/circuit, to the 'Brake'-fuse slot/circuit.Also correct me if I’m wrong maybe the hazard switch has the connections and need to be cleaned. Don’t the blinkers switch and the hazard switch work in combo circuit. I have a 1976 so it could be different
