Exclamation Low beams, blinkers, break lights wont turn on.

I have an 87 Ford F 150 with 302 5.0 Windsor I've been having issues with my front headlights low beam not coming on and my brake lights not coming on and both my turn signals will not turn on I have replaced the connection that plugs into the light switch that didn't solve the problem any advice? I replaced all fuses also.

Have you checked the bulbs? Seems stupid but I remember there being something weird happening when a brake light goes out.

If bulbs are good then check wiring.

Do your hazards work?

There should be a relay in the engine bay, exact location would be in the users manual if you have one, if not google "should" have something for you. Just swap the relay for the lighting system with any of the other relays from a working system (HVAC, Horn, etc.) to test. If it's just the relay then the best place to get them, IMO, is at a junk yard or pull-a-part. Usually only $0.50 a piece where I live, better quality than new, just pick the newest looking vehicle and grab a few (they are nice to have around). You can verify the relay is correct by using the number on it but 99% of relays out there that are 5 prong Bosch style are 30/40 relays.
