Default Brake Light/Turning Signal Issue

Have any of you had an issue with none of the turn signals or brake lights working? The lights on my dash are not even activated when I use the turn signal. I'm thinking maybe its a loose ground somewhere?

I've probably only put 1,000 miles on the car since its rebuild a couple years ago, which included a new wiring harness. I had all of the lights working perfectly at one point, and it just so happens that everything stops working when its perfect weather for the top down.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I suggest checking-remove and reinstall the bulkhead connector behind fuse panel.
Stop lights and turn signals have their own power from panel. See panel labeling.
T/S indicators are parallel wired with front turn bulbs at connector.
Also, check cluster ground above column.

I got the brake lights working, which was probably just a ground issue because I need to replace the sockets. Bulbs are good, grounds are good, replaced the turn signal flasher.

The emergency lights work, so I'm thinking it is the turn signal switch. Going to buy one and see if that fixes the problem.

Thanks for the help, guys.
