wiring issues

[greencruiser]

my cruiser a 72 fj 40 is almost ready for the road and its time to get the wiring all figured out, mainly the signals and brake lights the hazards work fine but the brake lights dont work ?? I have replaced the flasher unit and light bulbs ,checked the fuses and they seem fine
has any one else ever had this problem???

Stock or modified?

If the hazards work, but the brakes don't, I would look at the brake light switch itself. Behind the dash, above the brake pedal.

I am going to be modifing it

brake light switch ill check that

any ideas about the signals i still cant get them working

i know that they are all suppsed to work through one flasher aswell as the hazards and my hazards work what so could it be?

If the hazards work and the turn switch doesn't it is most likely the switch itself, or less likely the wiring to and from the switch. The hazard switch and the turn switch are in "parallel", so the rest of the wiring is the same.

I *believe* my 68 ran with 2 flashers; one for the turn signals and one for the hazards. I could be wrong as the original wiring is mostly missing. If this is the case, may want to check the other flasher.

71 has two flashers; 76 has one. I don't know when the change was made.
