recently my blinkers and brake lights stop working( not at the same time )
My hazard flashers work , running lights work too, I replaced to Signal fuse.
All the other fuses look to be good... what else could it be ?

Thank you, Milo

It could be anything from the brake switch to up in the steering wheel to the back of the car. I had to replace the turn signal unit myself, run new wires and clean some grounds to get my lights in the back to function.

I would definitely check the grounds in the back and also check to see if any power was getting back there. Following that check the brake light switch and then the turn signal unit.

I had a similar problem on my 74' and it ended up being a bad ground. Hope this helps.

can you tell me where the ground wires for the blinkers and the brake light are located ?

I would check for power at the brake light switch, and then through the signal switch.
Power for both circuits travels through the signal switch.
