    Park and tail lights usually work from Headlight switch, Signals go from fuse to Signal head.
    Brakes and signals both go through signal head, usually.
    And many times it is one filiment, (Stop/turn) lights.

    Replace both dual filament tail/turning signal lights. They simply snap-out and snap-in the connector. Easy job. If the turning signals still don't work, replace both front amber-colored signal bulbs. Usually, the rear bulbs burnout first. It's a good idea to replace the back-up lights, while you have everything apart.

    This link may help, even though I don't know what car you have:

    Hey TX, is the brake and Hazzards same element? If Flashers work, shouldn't that say brake filiment is good? Thanks

    Brake and hazzard element is the same. Yes, if the flasher works, it should say the brake filament is good.
