Default Brake light problem help

I've got a 94 base model. I've replaced my brake light switch, my ABS relay, and the 20 amp fuse. And my brake lights still won't work. My blinkers and tail lights work fine and the brake light on the spoiler works. My hazards don't work either. Any ideas?

Not sure if the entire bulb won't work if one of the two filaments are burnt out but that may be why. I believe the brake light and tail light are in the same bulb with one filament for each.

i would suspect the wiring or ground. there is a ground point in back under the rear carpet stuff that covers the hatch lock. trace the grounds from those lights. test for power to the bulbs when brakes are on. see if it is ground or power problem. might try replacing the hazard flasher.

It's a power problem so I guess I'll have to try replacing the hazards switch

can't remember but i think the hazard flasher is different part number than the blinker flasher.

That makes some sense. The Hazard switch is the only thing common to those lamps only.
