Re: Turn signals are always one.
You're welcome!
When you said earlier that the rear turn signals were on steady and not flashing, I took that to mean that they were on all the time (whether you had flipped the turn signal lever or not) so I figured it may have been the brake lights staying on. But now, I'm wondering if you meant that the turn signals come on steady and don't flash only when you flip the lever to signal a turn. If that's the case, that is probably normal without the front turn signal lights hooked up yet. That's because the flasher relay needs a minimum load to draw enough current to heat up the bi-metallic strip inside and open the contacts. Once the contacts open, the current stops, lights turn off, and the bi-metallic strip cools, re-closes the contacts and turns the lights back on. This process repeats, causing the lights to flash. But without enough load (only 1 bulb in the rear) they just stay on steady. The hazards are probably working because that's operating 2 bulbs in the rear.
As for the brake lights not working, I see you now have power going to the switch. Next thing to check would be to make sure the switch contacts are closing when you push the brake pedal and passing power through the switch.
