Default Turning signal and Brake light problem. PLEASE HELP!!!

OK so on the passenger side of my 1993 camaro z28 my front turning signal and rear turning signal do not work. When i put my parking lights or headlights on my rear lights work but when i push the brake pedal down the passenger side brake light doesnt work. When i put my turning signal on i get a solid green light but my turning signal does not come on. All the lights on the drivers side do work. When i put my hazards on just the driver side lights flash. What could cause this problem? If i took it to my local car audio/electronics shop would they be able to figure it out and fix it?

the brake might be mechanical ... check under your dash . follow the brake lever .. . . there should be a plastic peace ull see what im talking about . . check if the metals inside the plastic peace are touching right . . if not u just twist the screw untill the metals touch . . for the turning signal . . when u put ur hazards on do they work ?? if they do . . check the WHOLE TURNING signal bracket . . i forgot what is called but its located inside the steering collem if not check the light bulb sockets . . sometimes they rust ... start investigating ... its like exploratory surgery

Check your bulbs, they're dual filament (running light & turn/brake).
Although it would be a coincidence, both front and back could be burned out.

could also be a ground failing. have you had any work done on the car recently? also like 69 sayin bulb could be bad and is effecting the other light. also make sure the bulbs are plugged in and connecting.
